Oklahoma State against Oklahoma Sooners in College Basketball Gambling Jan 9

While this specific matchup may not have the same intensity that its football version does, the Jan 9 – Oklahoma at Oklahoma State game still has its own brand of anticipation. With the conference basketball year just arrived, both the Sooners and Cowboys will try to set the tone for the remainder of their year with this game. In Oklahoma’s case, they will be trying to continue what has been a great start as they ended 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 thus far. Just considering the Sooners seem to be quite somewhat much better than the Cowboys right now does not mean their win is a foregone conclusion. When you take a look at this game through a gambler’s eye, forecasting who will win and by how much becomes even harder. Neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State has really lit the world on fire when it comes to competing versus the spread. In reality, when you take a look at the 2 team’s records versus the spread, the one point that is apparent is that neither squad is likely to play as well as those laying cash on the game would wish.

Football odds

Offensively, the Sooners have relied heavily on junior guard Steven Pledger. Pledger is shooting a tremendous 48.4 percent from three-point land and has averaged 18.8 points per game thus far this year. It’s not astonishing that in Oklahoma’s 2 non-conference losses, Pledger had trouble, shooting 33 percent, and averaging only 11 points in those competitions.

For the Cowboys, the offensive attack has relied on several competitors, with Keiton Page being the principal go-to guy. Page has average 13.6 points per game in the non-conference slate. Oklahoma State’s number 2 scorer, Le’Bryan Nash is scoring an average of 11.7 points per contest. In order to have a chance at the Sooners, both competitors will have to step up.
