The Jan 9 – Oklahoma at Oklahoma State game still has its own brand of excitement, despite the fact that this particular matchup may not have the same energy that its football version does. With the conference basketball season just under way, both the Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys will try to set the tone for the rest of their season with this game. In Oklahoma’s case, they’re going to be looking to continue what has been a quality start as they concluded the non-conference slate with a 10-2 record.

Oklahoma State, alternatively has fought mightily against their out of conference schedule, posting a meager 7-6 record to date. Just due to the fact the Oklahoma Sooners manage to be quite a bit better than the Oklahoma State Cowboys at this time doesn’t mean their win is a foregone conclusion. Forecasting who will win and by how much becomes even harder when you check out this game through a gambler’s eye. Neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State has really set the world on fire in terms of competing versus the spread. In fact, when you examine the two team’s records versus the spread, the one issue that is clear is that neither team will play as well as those laying money on the game would hope.

Offensively, the Oklahoma Sooners have depended greatly on junior guard Steven Pledger. Pledger has averaged 18.8 ppg to date this year and is shooting a whopping 48.4 percent from three-point land. It is not surprising that in Oklahoma’s two non-conference losses, Pledger had trouble, shooting 33 percent, and averaging only 11 points in those matches.
For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the offensive attack has relied on several players, with Keiton Page being the main go-to guy. In the non-conference slate, Page has average 13.6 ppg. Oklahoma State’s number two scorer, Le’Bryan Nash is scoring an average of 11.7 points per match. Both players will have to step up in order to have a chance at the Oklahoma Sooners.
