Oklahoma State at TCU

Premium Pick

Oklahoma State was going bad before the Marcus Smart suspension, and had lost seven straight games until his return last game vs. Texas Tech. Smart immediately took over, with a double-double and six steals in a blowout win. TCU has not been up to task in the rugged Big-12 Conference where they have gone 2-30 straight up in their 32 regular season games since joining the conference, and that includes 0-14 this season. The Horned Frogs have lost 10 of their last 13 in conference play by 10 points or more, including each of their last five, as this team has appeared to have packed it in for the season. Their biggest problem in the last 13 conference tilts is an offense that has generaged just better than 58 points per game. It is going to be a stretch to get to a total that is hovering in the vicinity of 140, as the Frogs only choice is to slow tempo to try and stay in touch. The Cowboys have killed bad teams as they are 7-0 ATS in their last seven vs. a team below .400, and the TCU home mark of 20-44 ATS in their last 64 doesn't bode well here either. The Frogs ability to slow tempo and inability to score has led to a 4-0 UNDER mark in their last four vs. a winning team. And all of the last four meetings have fallen short of the total as well. Play on Oklahoma State and the UNDER.
