Whilst this specific game may not have the same depth that its football version does, the Jan 9 – Oklahoma at Oklahoma State game still has its own type of anticipation. With the conference basketball season just arrived, both the Sooners and Cowboys will try to set the tone for the rest of their season with this game. In Oklahoma’s case, they’re going to be seeking to continue what has been a quality start as they finished the non-conference slate with a 10-2 record.

Oklahoma State, on the other hand has fought mightily against their out of conference schedule, putting up a meager 7-6 record thus far. Just because the Sooners appear to be quite a bit much better than the Cowboys at the moment does not mean their win is a foregone conclusion. When you have a look at this game through a gambler’s eye, forecasting who will win and by just how much becomes even harder. Neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State has exactly set the world on fire in terms of playing versus the spread. In fact, when you check out the 2 squad’s records versus the spread, the one point that is obvious is that neither squad will probably play along with those laying cash on the game would wish.

Offensively, the Sooners have depended seriously on junior guard Steven Pledger. Pledger is shooting a massive 48.4 percent from three-point land and has averaged 18.8 points per game thus far this year. It’s not astonishing that in Oklahoma’s 2 non-conference losses, Pledger struggled, shooting 33 percent, and averaging only 11 points in those contests.

For the Cowboys, the offensive attack has relied on numerous players, with Keiton Page being the principal go-to guy. Page has average 13.6 points per game in the non-conference slate. Oklahoma State’s number 2 scorer, Le’Bryan Nash is scoring an average of 11.7 points per contest. In order to have a chance at the Sooners, both players will need to step up.
