Sam Houston at Oklahoma State

Oklahoma State had its three-game win streak broken in a 74-64 loss at Connecticut, but the Cowboys have one of the best defensive teams in the country allowing only 63.8 points and 36.3 percent shooting overall and just 28.3 percent from 3-point distance. The Cowboys have balanced scoring with six scorers averaging between 8.3-12.9 points led by Avery Anderson III, who led them in scoring last season and is averaging 12.9 points this year. Sam Houston State has been a bit of a surprise as it was picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Western Athletic Conference, but the Bearkats are 7-1 with the only loss against Nevada. However, Oklahoma State has won its last two true home games by an average of 25.5 points. Take Oklahoma State as my third Max Play.
