Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-8) vs Oklahoma Sooners (11-5)

Oklahoma only has one true road win this season and it was in OT against a Texas Tech team that is having a down year. Oklahoma State may be getting Moussa Cisse back from injury, as he was practicing this week but even if Cisse remains out, I like the Cowboys to grab a win and cover at home. Oklahoma State's defense is very tough to beat, especially at home and Oklahoma has big issues regarding turnovers, offensive rebounds, and getting to the FT line. Oklahoma has relied on making a lot of low % shots and even though Grant Sherfield is a great shooter/scorer, he can't do it alone. Oklahoma State has a top-25 perimeter defense as well as 2-point FG defense in terms of shooting % and Oklahoma State is also able to force a good amount of turnovers. Oklahoma State already has a home win over a top-30 KenPom team this season in West Virginia and I think the Cowboys grab another tonight over their big rivals. Give me Oklahoma State laying the points.
