Ratings courtesy of USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll
After an 82-76 overtime loss to Kansas State (-1.5) on Saturday, West Virginia looks to gain its first Big-12 win of the season on Monday night against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys, coming off a 69-67 loss (but +9.5 cover) to No. 4 Kansas on Saturday, are also looking for their 1st conference win.
While West Virginia looks once again to be a tournament team, Oklahoma State will need wins like this game to help them accomplish that goal.

West Virginia at Oklahoma State picks and predictions
Prediction
West Virginia 75, Oklahoma State 71
Moneyline
BET WEST VIRGINIA (+122).
The Mountaineers average 80.9 points per game on the season while the Cowboys are averaging 71.3. West Virginia also makes 37.2% of its 3-point shots, which will be the key Monday. Oklahoma State should not be favored in this game. Yet it is, so, give me the underdog Mountaineers to win outright.
Against the spread
PASS.
With the feeling that West Virginia will win this game, I will plus-money moneyline.
Over/Under
BET OVER 138.5 (-115).
While both defenses are solid, both offenses are better.
Oklahoma State allows on average 62.1 PPG while West Virginia scores almost 81. On the other side of the ball, the Cowboys have averaged 71.3 points while the Mountaineers have allowed 67.5 points. The offenses will be able to score in this game and another Over is coming for these 2 teams.
The Cowboys are 5-7-1 to the Over this season and West Virginia is 10-3. The Mountaineers will be able to set the pace in this game and this means an Over is the outcome. Over 138.5 (-115) is my favorite play in this game.
