Oklahoma State Cowboys 

Oklahoma State managed to go a shaky 13-9 over their first 22 outings of the year. The Cowboys are 3-5 since then with losses to Kansas, TCU, West Virginia, Kansas State and Baylor after wins over TCU, Texas Tech and Iowa State. 

On Monday versus Baylor, the Cowboys were outscored 41-30 in the first half alone. Oklahoma State hit a 38-33 second-half run but still lost 74-68. Leading team scorer John-Michael Wright logged 17 points, three assists and five rebounds. 

Texas Tech Red Raiders

Over on the Texas Tech side, they posted a 12-10 run over their first 22 games. The Red Raiders are 4-4 in their last eight with wins over Kansas State, Texas, West Virginia and Oklahoma along with losses to Baylor, Oklahoma State, TCU and Kansas. 

Matched up against Kansas on Tuesday, the Raiders were behind 30-21 in the locker room. Texas Tech bagged a 42-37 advantage from there in a 67-63 defeat. De’Vion Harmon had 15 points and Fardaws Aimaq doubled on 13 points and 18 rebounds in the loss. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to lean toward Texas Tech in this one. You could make a case either way, though; it should be a fun matchup. That said, the Raiders didn’t play too badly against Kansas in their last game, shooting 41.0 percent from the field with a 42-33 rebounding advantage (10-4 offensive). That makes consecutive losses for Texas Tech after four straight wins. These teams last saw each other back on February 8 at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys took a tense 71-68 victory in that one. This rematch should be close as well, and I like the Raiders to get some revenge on a cover.
