Key Head-to-Head Trends

• Favorite is 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

• Home team is 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

• Bears are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

• Bears are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Oklahoma St.

Baylor 411

• Bears are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

• Bears are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog.

Baylor (18-10 SU, 7-13 ATS, 8-12 O/U) snapped its modest two-game SU and ATS losing streaks by upsetting Texas A&M 58-51 on Saturday while cashing in against the college basketball betting line as a 3-point home underdog.

Oklahoma State 411

• Cowboys are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

• Cowboys are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Oklahoma State (17-11 SU, 10-12-1 ATS, 12-11 O/U) brought its four-game SU losing streak to an end by beating Texas Tech 70-68 on Saturday, despite failing to cover the college basketball betting line as an 8-point home favorite to fall to a pitiful 0-6 ATS in their last half-dozen games and 1-9 ATS in their L/10 games overall.

Prediction: The Oklahoma State Cowboys haven’t been swept in the regular season by Baylor in almost nine decades dating all the way back to 1922 and I’m going to bank on the fact that the Cowboys know this and will play with an extra sense of urgency tonight because of it.

These Big 12 rivals have alternated SU wins and losses over the last six meetings with each team winning on its home floor each time out while also going 5-5 SU over the L/10 meetings overall, with every single victory being recorded by the home team. Overall, the Cowboys have beaten Baylor seven straight times at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

I know Baylor will have the best player on the floor in this matchup in talented senior shooting guard LaceDarius Dunn (20.2 ppg) and has another freshman many experts say may bolt for the NBA following this season in forward Perry Jones III (14.2 pg), but the Oklahoma State Cowboys will be bolstered by their raucous home fans in this contest and I believe that will be enough to get them over the top in this contest.

The Favorite and Home team in this Big 12 rivalry have both gone a perfect 8-0 against the college basketball betting odds in the L/8 meetings and I expect the Oklahoma State Cowboys to make that stand up again tonight as Baylor has gone just 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS on the road this season.
