The TCU Horned Frogs had their 2-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 15-5 on the season after being defeated by the Kansas State Wildcats, 75-63, this past Saturday. TCU could get nothing going on the offensive end against Kansas State and could not fight back after the Wildcats took a 57-42 lead with 10:26 left in regulation. TCU shot 39.3% from the field & 21.4% from beyond the arc while allowing Kansas State to shoot 46.4% from the field & 33.3% from beyond the arc.

On the season, TCU is averaging 68.8 ppg on 43.1% shooting from the field. The Horned Frogs are averaging 5.8 three-pointers per game on 29.4% shooting from beyond the arc. Offensively, TCU has been led by Mike Miles (15.4 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 4.2 apg, 1.2 spg), Damion Baugh (10.5 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.8 apg, 1.4 spg), Emanuel Miller (10.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.0 apg), & Chuck O’Bannon Jr. (9.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 1.0 apg, 1.0 spg). Mike Miles missed the Horned Frogs last game due to a wrist injury and is questionable for this matchup.

Defensively, TCU is holding their opponents to an average of 62.5 ppg on 40.5% shooting from the field. The Horned Frogs have a rebound margin of 10.0 and a turnover margin of -1.1.

The Cowboys are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win & 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. The Horned Frogs 11-7-2 ATS overall on the season, however, are just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 Tuesday games.

TCU is coming off a tough loss at Kansas State and it clearly showed that missing their leading scorer in Mike Miles had a major effect on the Horned Frogs offensive attack. Oklahoma State is just 2-5 on the road this season, however, they do have a quality road win at Baylor, and as I think the Cowboys defense which ranks 107^th in scoring defense & 39^th in defensive FG% will give TCU trouble, I think the play here is to take Oklahoma State and the points. Good Luck!
