The Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma State Cowboys meet in college basketball action from the Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The Texas Longhorns will try to bounce back from a 116-103 loss to Kansas State last time out. Marcus Carr leads the Longhorns in scoring and assists with 18.1 PPG and 4.2 APG while Tyrese Hunter has 12.1 PPG with 3.6 RPG so far this season. Timmy Allen has 10.1 PPG with a team-high 5.7 RPG to lead the Longhorns on the glass and 4.2 APG to lead the way in assists and Sir’Jabari Rice has 10 PPG this season. As a team, Texas is averaging 84.1 PPG on 49.7% shooting from the field, 34.4% from three and 72.5% from the foul line this season.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will look to build on a 67-60 win over West Virginia in their last outing. Bryce Thompson has 12.6 PPG with 2.4 APG while Avery Anderson III has 11.5 PPG with a team-high 3.1 APG to lead the Cowboys in assists and John-Michael Wright has 10.1 PPG to cap off the scoring in double figures for the Cowboys up to this point in the season. Moussa Cisse also has 8.1 PPG with a team-high 9.9 RPG to lead the Cowboys on the glass up to this point in the year. As a team, Oklahoma State is averaging 71 PPG on 45.2% shooting from the field, 33.7% from three and 72.4% from the foul line this season.
Texas is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following an ATS loss. Oklahoma State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games while the under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games overall.
I get the case to be made for Texas here as the Longhorns could really use a bounce-back performance. However, the Longhorns were absolutely rocked by Kansas State last time out, and I don’t know what the Longhorns’ mindset will be like with all of the off-court drama. Oklahoma State’s a solid group that’s been picking up key wins as of late and I think they get another one here. Give me the Cowboys.
