Bet on Oklahoma State vs. West Virginia
West Virginia has won six of its last seven meetings with Oklahoma State, including a 85-79 win at Oklahoma State back on Dec. 29. The Cowboys don’t bring much defense to the table and are facing a very good defense that will be playing at home. WVU should have some momentum building from the big win at Oklahoma and I think the Mountaineers’ press defense will give Oklahoma State fits. The public betting is backing West Virginia at home as well.
