West Virginia at Oklahoma State: Three things to know
- West Virginia is looking to bounce back and avoid going 0-for in Oklahoma. The Mountaineers lost 75-71 at the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday. Dec. 22, WVU dropped a Big 12 road game at Kansas. On the season, the Mountaineers are 1-2 (0-3 against the spread) in road games.
- Oklahoma State got an uncharacteristic performance from distance in picking up an 82-77 win at Texas Tech Saturday. After losing back-to-back games by a total of four points, the Cowboys shot 42.1% on 3-pointers against the Red Raiders. They had connected on just 28.8% of their treys in their previous six games. For the season, OSU is shooting 31.7% from beyond the arc; that ranks ninth in the Big 12.
- When these two teams met last year (twice: Jan. 6 in Stillwater, Feb. 18 in Morgantown), WVU swept OSU. The Mountaineers dominated on the glass and on the scoreboard. Over the two games, West Virginia was a plus-18 on the boards. WVU won by scores of 55-41 and 65-47. The two sides have split six games over the last three seasons.

West Virginia at Oklahoma State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
West Virginia 72, Oklahoma State 71
Money line (ML)
PASS. Oklahoma State is the likable side, but one should be on the plus side to pull the trigger.
Against the spread (ATS)
Look for Oklahoma State to have success in the paint and in getting second-chance and transition buckets. Enough so to warrant a PLAY ON THE COWBOYS +1.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Over is 5-1 in OSU’s last six games and 5-0 in WVU’s last five road affairs. That’s the lean for Monday, but it’s only the slightest lean — a PASS IS RECOMMENDED.
