The game is set to tip off at 2:00 EST from Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and will be broadcast on the Big 12 Network. BYU is currently favored to win by 6 points according to the latest line.

BYU Cougars

BYU Cougars are finding success in the Big 12, currently sitting sixth in the standings with four wins in their last five league games. Led by key players such as Jaxson Robinson, who leads the team in scoring, and a deep rotation with seven players averaging over 9.0 PPG, the Cougars have shown strength in both offense and defense. Offensively, they shoot well from the field and the free-throw line, while defensively they excel in limiting opponent three-point shooting. With a slow pace of play, BYU is projected to secure a 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament according to Joe Lunardi. The team has no injuries listed and looks to continue their strong performance as the season progresses. for your viewing needs😮‍💨 pic.twitter.com/XEw9P00mR2

Oklahoma St. Cowboys Analysis

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are currently struggling in the Big 12 conference, sitting at the bottom of the league standings with a 20-15 record. Led by guard Javon Small, who averages 14.2 PPG, the team has faced challenges due to injuries, with Bryce Thompson out for the year. Despite their difficulties, the Cowboys continue to put up a fight on the court, with Small scoring 17 or more points in each of his last three games. They rank 121st overall by KenPom, with a 172nd ranking in offensive efficiency and 86th in defensive efficiency. The team's best chance for a shot at the NCAA Tournament would be to win the Big 12 Tournament. Additionally, the Cowboys average 70.42 points per game on offense and allow 70.38 points on defense. Their shooting percentages and rebounding stats rank them in the middle to lower tier compared to other teams in the NCAA. JMW knocks it down! pic.twitter.com/NbTFDqKKL5

BYU's Strong Offense and Defense Make Them the Favored Pick Over Oklahoma State

The injury to key player Bryce Thompson has had a significant impact on the Oklahoma State college basketball team, resulting in a decline in their performance and current last place standing in the league. In contrast, BYU boasts a strong offensive lineup with multiple scoring options, including standout player Jaxson Robinson coming off the bench. BYU's offensive efficiency ranking of 8th far surpasses Oklahoma State's 172nd ranking. Although BYU has been winning games, their margin of victory has been narrower than anticipated, indicating a potential vulnerability. With a solid defense ranked 31st in the nation, BYU is poised to exploit Oklahoma State's offensive weaknesses and capitalize on their deeper roster. Based on these factors, it is recommended to choose BYU as the favorable pick to win and cover in this matchup.
