Oklahoma State at Oklahoma

Oklahoma State has won three straight games by double-digit margins over KenPom top-50 opponents -- and hasn't trailed in any of them. The Cowboys have a dynamite offense, fifth in the nation in scoring (88.4 points per game), tallying 95 points or more eight times this season, including a school-record tying five 100-point performances. But a shift in defensive philosophy has been at the heart of Cowboys' three-game winning streak. After five straight losses in close games, the coaching staff tweaked the defense. Since the change, Oklahoma State ended Texas Tech's 17-game homecourt win streak, rolled over TCU in Stillwater and hammered Arkansas by 28 points. The Cowboys rank #16 in the nation with 8.5 steals per game, #14 in turnovers forced at 16.9 per contest. They face a young Oklahoma (8-12) team has struggled both home and on the road. The Sooners are 9-19-1 ATS against a team with a winning straight-up record, so back the red-hot visitors and play Oklahoma State.
