The Jan 9 – Oklahoma at Oklahoma State game still has its own kind of excitement, despite the fact that this specific matchup might not have the same depth that its football version does. With the conference basketball season just arrived, both the Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys will attempt to set the tone for the rest of their season with this game. In Oklahoma’s case, they’re going to be trying to continue what has been a solid start as they finished the non-conference slate with a 10-2 record.

Oklahoma State, on the flip side has struggled mightily against their out of conference schedule, putting up a meager 7-6 record thus far. It doesn’t mean their win is a foregone conclusion just considering the Oklahoma Sooners seem to be rather somewhat a lot better than the Oklahoma State Cowboys at the moment. When you take a look at this game through a gambler’s eye, forecasting who will win and by what amount becomes even harder. Neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State has precisely set the world on fire when it comes to competing against the spread. Actually, when you look at the 2 squad’s records against the spread, the one issue that is clear is that neither team is going to play along with those laying money on the game would hope.

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

For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the offensive attack has counted on quite a few players, with Keiton Page being the primary go-to man. 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 match. Both players will need to step up in order to have a chance at the Oklahoma Sooners.
