Cowboys Leverage 3-Point Success to Cover -3.5 Spread Against Bonnies

The Cowboys have put emphasis on their defensive play, which proved successful last season. Unfortunately, their inability to be consistent at the free throw line has been concerning. However, Oklahoma State's main strength, 3-pointers, has impacted the Bonnies early in the season, as they have struggled to close out possessions. The Cowbows' strength from outside should give them the edge here and make it easier for them to cover the spread of -3.5.
