Oklahoma St. vs Houston Stats

Oklahoma St. Cowboys

Oklahoma State's recent victory over Utah came after a string of losses in their season. The team's offensive efficiency is lacking, as they are averaging just 72.8 points per game and shooting poorly from both the field and beyond the arc. Defensively, they are also struggling, allowing nearly 75 points per game and ranking poorly in opponent shooting percentages. Key players such as Marchelus Avery and Bryce Thompson are leading the team in scoring, but overall, the Cowboys have room for improvement in both offense and defense. Their power ranking of 298 reflects their struggles, with low rankings in offensive and defensive categories. Oklahoma State's season record is currently 11-10, with an unimpressive 7-14 ATS record. Efforts to improve their shooting percentages, rebounding stats, and turnovers will be crucial for the team to finish the season strong.

Houston Cougars Analysis

The Houston Cougars suffered a surprising loss to Texas Tech after an impressive winning streak in the Big 12 conference and at home. Despite the setback, standout performances from guards L.J. Cryer and J'Wan Roberts added to the team's strong defensive reputation. However, the absence of injured guard Emanuel Sharp poses a challenge for the Cougars as they prepare for upcoming games. Despite their recent loss, Houston maintains a strong defensive ranking and solid offensive statistics, making them a formidable opponent in college basketball.

Houston Looks to Bounce Back Strong in Anticipated Matchup Against Oklahoma State

It is likely that Houston will emerge victorious in a decisive manner following a recent loss, despite the absence of Emanuel Sharp which will be a significant loss for the team to overcome. The previous matchup saw Oklahoma State struggle to score, limiting Houston to 60 points. Additionally, players Thompson and Avery had below average performances. It is important to note that the game took place in December and both teams have likely evolved since then. The upcoming game is anticipated to be a close contest, with the Cowboys expected to put up a strong fight and potentially cover the spread.
