Oklahoma State vs. Oregon

Defense is key in March and Oklahoma State has it, fourth in the Big 12 in points allowed and fifth in field goal shooting allowing 42%. On offense they are tops in free throws shooting at 76% - always a plus when games are close. Oklahoma State has excellent balance with 6-7 senior Le'Bryan Nash (17 ppg, 5.4 rpg) and 6-8 senior Michael Cobbins up front, plus junior Phil Forte III (15 ppg) and senior Anthony Hickey in the backcourt. It's a veteran team, too. They come off a bad offensive game against Oklahoma but the Cowboys are 6-1-1 ATS after scoring fewer than 50 points in their previous game. Oregon leans too much on offense at #10 in the PAC-12 in points allowed and #9 in rebounding defense. The Ducks allowed .545% shooting the last game, an 80-52 loss to Arizona, and the Ducks are 2-6 ATS following a loss of more than 20 points. Play Oklahoma State.
