Oklahoma State vs Virginia Tech Key Stats
The Cowboys will be attempting to improve their non-conference record on Sunday. The Cowboys have had a poor start to the season, splitting their first four games, but have had better luck of late, winning four of their last five. They won all four of those games as favorites and covered the spread in three of them.
The Cowboys' only defeat during that run came on December 1 at the hands of the UConn Huskies, when they fell just short of covering the 9-point spread with a score of 74-64. They are only making 30.9% of their 3-point tries and have one of the worst turnover rates in the nation. The offensive rebounding of the Cowboys has been their greatest strength.
The Hokies have had a great start to the season, winning nine of their first 10 games. The Hokies started the season with a perfect 5-1 record before suffering their lone loss in a nail-biting 77-75 loss at Charleston. Since then, they have been in great form, winning games over Dayton, Minnesota, and then-No. 18 North Carolina. Despite defeating Golden Gophers, the Hokies were unable to cover the 12.5-point spread.
To start the season, the Hokies were among the best offensive teams in collegiate basketball, shooting 56.3% from the field to rank No. 16. They have the nation's lowest turnover rate going into this game and do not turn the ball over very frequently.
Oklahoma State vs Virginia Tech Betting Prediction
Given their size disadvantage and the fact that they are playing against a strong rebounding squad, the Hokies' chances on the glass do not look promising. Their opponents excel on the defensive end of the court and will present the Hokies' sternest test so far.
The Cowboys are a decent team to back in a neutral-site game since they don't take many 3-point shots and play solid defense. They won't be intimidated by the surroundings as they play with little variance, and they ought to win today's spread.
Pick: Oklahoma State Cowboys +1.5 (-110)
