The Missouri Tigers, the only one of the top four seeds in the Big 12 Championship to survive the tournament's quarterfinal round, will square off against the Oklahoma State Cowboys tonight in Oklahoma City. The two squads met in January in Stillwater and the Tigers walked away with a 97-95 win. The Cowboys will be looking for revenge when things tip off tonight at 9:30pm ET at the Ford Center.

NCAA Basketball Predictions: Oklahoma State vs Missouri at Sportsbook.com have the Tigers listed as a -4 against the spread favorite.

Oklahoma State, who finished in fifth place in the Big 12 with a 9-7 record, has garnered two Big 12 Championship wins in the last two days by beating Iowa State 81-67 on Wednesday night and taking out arch rival, second seeded Oklahoma 71-70 last night. The back-to-back victories moved the Pokes record to 22-10 on the year, and likely solidified their position as an NCAA Tournament team (rank 18th in the RPI).

Oklahoma State had five players in double figures in yesterday's defeat of the Sooners, led by guard Byron Eaton's 16 points. The Cowboys shot fairly well, connecting on 41.7 percent of their field goal attempts, but they won the game by forcing Oklahoma into 19 turnovers and limiting them to 3-of-19 shooting from three point range.

OSU is now 4-2 in neutral site games this season and they are 4-6 in true road games. They will, however, be playing in front of a Cowboy partisan crowd this evening at the Ford Center. Travis Ford's team is averaging 81.8 points per game this year and giving up 74.4 in return.

The Missouri Tigers finished the regular season in third place in the Big 12 standings after falling 86-96 in College Station last Saturday. The loss dropped their conference record to 12-4 and allowed Oklahoma to jump past them in the Big 12 rankings. Missouri, however, rebounded from their loss to the Aggies as they scored an 81-60 win over Texas Tech in last night's Championship quarterfinals.

Missouri trailed most of the first half but closed to a 31-31 tie at halftime. They left no doubts in the second half after watching one and two seeds Kansas and Oklahoma suffer upsets earlier in the day. The Tigers blitzed the Red Raiders 50-29 in the second frame by means of their unrelenting pressure and fast break offense.

Mike Anderson's club, which hit 55 percent of their field goal attempts, was led by forward DeMarre Carroll. The senior, who also happens to be Anderson's nephew, dropped in a game high 19 points on 9-of-14 shooting.

Missouri is 3-1 in neutral site games and 5-5 in true road outings; they, like the Cowboys, run an up-tempo offense that averages 81.8 points per game. The Tigers give up just 66.9 per outing to their opposition.
