Texas vs Oklahoma State College Basketball Picks – February 1st, 2010: The Texas Longhorns are in Stillwater this evening for a meeting with conference rival Oklahoma State. The two Big 12 squads are set to tipoff at 9:00pm ET at the legendary Gallagher-Iba Arena; the game will be televised live on ESPN. Texas vs Oklahoma State College Basketball Picks at online bookmaker SPORTSBETTING.com have the Longhorns listed as a slight -2.5 against the spread road favorite.
The Longhorns recent woes continued over the weekend, only this time they bled over to their home court where the Baylor
Bears downed them 80-77 in overtime. Texas simply could not find the basket against the Bears defense as the Longhorns hit just 27-of-70 (39 percent) from the field and 19-of-31 from the charity stripe.
The loss was the third in the last four games for Texas, dropping its record to 18-3 and league mark to 4-2. Despite the two Big 12 setbacks, the Longhorns are still tied for second place (Missouri) in the conference standings and are two games back of the first place Jayhawks.
The Longhorns, which are averaging 85.3 points per game on the season, have posted a 77 point per game average over their last four contests. Their opposition has averaged 80.5 per game during that stretch, a tally 13 points higher than Texas' point per game allowed average.
Oklahoma State fell to 16-5 overall and 4-3 in Big 12 play on Saturday as the Missouri Tigers handed the Cowboys a 95-80 loss in Columbia. The Pokes could do nothing to slow down the hot handed Tigers as Mike Anderson's squad hit 34-of-65 from the floor and 17-of-31 from beyond the arc.
The defeat snapped a three game win streak for the Cowboys; however, they have a chance to get back in the saddle this evening as they are 12-0 at Gallagher-Iba this year.
The Longhorns have dominated this series of late, winning seven of the last nine games and three of the last five in Stillwater. Oklahoma State did pull out a 68-59 win on their home court last year, though.
