College Basketball Betting Trends
Oklahoma State
The Cowboys are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Big 12 games. Oklahoma State is 1-4 ATS in its last five Wednesday games.
Texas Tech
The Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall. Texas Tech is 4-0 ATS in its last four home games.
Prediction:
It was only two weeks ago that the Red Raiders dominated host Oklahoma State to the tune of 78-50. With the way Texas Tech has been playing, I can’t see any way this one stays close. The Red Raiders are ranked first nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency and I don’t believe the Cowboys can find enough baskets to make this competitive. Give the points and take Texas Tech.
