- Analysis
- My math model favors Oklahoma State by 0.06 points in this game and the Sooners are a dreadful 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 games as road favorites and 0-4 ATS in their last four games as favorites. In contrast, Oklahoma State is a profitable 8-3 ATS in its last eleven games as an underdog and 4-1 ATS in its previous five home affairs.
The Cowboys have all but guaranteed themselves a spot in the NCAA tournament after reeling off four straight wins, including back-to-back upsets over Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Oklahoma State is appealing an NCAA ruling that would prohibit the men's basketball team from postseason play but the NCAA has yet to address the appeal. As long as that appeal is still under consideration by the NCAA, this season's team would be allowed to participate in the tournament.
The Cowboys' late-season surge is due in large part to the play of Cade Cunningham, the projected No. 1 pick in ESPN.com's latest NBA mock draft. Cunningham scored a career-best 40 points in the Cowboys' 94-90 overtime win at Oklahoma, becoming the first freshman to score 40 points this season. Cunningham finished with 11 rebounds, two blocks, and three steals. He ranks in the top 10 of the Big 12 in usage rate, total shooting percentage, free throw rate and 3-point percentage.
