Why Oklahoma State Will Win

After getting blasted the first two times against the Jayhawks, what can the Cowboys bring to change things up?

On a four-game winning streak, OSU has cranked up the defense, was able to get past a rocky night from the outside to get by Iowa State in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, and it survived in a 72-71 win.

The D is only allowing 66 points per game doing a great job at holding down teams from three. It should be able to keep Kansas from bombing away from the outside, and it’s decent enough at forcing takeaways to generate a few easy points.

Kansas isn’t great from the outside, but …

Why Kansas Will Win

Good luck locking down the Kansas inside presence.

It’s ninth in the nation from the field even though it doesn’t do too much from three. Having a dominant force in Udoka Azubuike helps, but every main part on this O can shoot.

The D does its part, too, doing a great job of locking down most teams from the outside while leading the Big 12 on overall defense. Oklahoma State’s only chance is to be red hot from three, but it wasn’t bad from the outside in the first two meetings and it was still blown out.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas is going to come out and make a huge statement. It’s already playing like the no-brainer No. 1 team in the country, and it’s about to take out Oklahoma State with a big early run to take control. It won’t coast in the second half, but it won’t be threatened in the final five minutes.

Why Kansas Will Win

The Jayhawks are dominating from the field – it helps when Udoka Azubuike is hanging around the rim and making 11-of-13 like he did in the win over Baylor – with the O hitting 40% or better in every game this year but one.

That one game? Oklahoma State – and Kansas won 65-50 despite making 39% of its shots.

OSU can rebound, but it doesn’t score enough and it can’t hit well enough from the outside to stay alive if the Jayhawk inside scoring is working. The KU offense might be great, but the defense is what’s taking over, holding teams to just 61 points per game.

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

The defense is good enough to keep this from getting out of hand.

OSU would like to keep this a bit of a grind – it doesn’t shoot well enough or get enough easy points to keep up if KU gets going – doing a good enough job on the defensive boards to keep the Jayhawks from getting too many of the backbreaking offensive rebounds it needs to dominate.

Somehow make this a low-scoring battle deep into the second half, and turn this into a free throw contest. Kansas only hits 66% from the line.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas will be too good and too tough on the inside for the Cowboys.

It won’t be a total wipeout, but Oklahoma State just doesn’t shoot well enough, and now it’s going against an elite defense that’s been able to step it up a few notches.
