The Cowboys have won seven of their last eight games, including each of their last five, surging to fourth place in the Big 12 standings. Their latest victory was a 64-56 final at then-No. 11 Iowa State as 6.5-point underdogs on Saturday.
The Cowboys held a 15-point halftime lead at Kansas on New Year's Eve, so they know that they are capable of winning this game. Junior Bryce Thompson matched his career high of 23 points in that meeting and set a career best with seven 3-pointers. Oklahoma State is 10-1 in its last 11 home games and has covered the spread in four of its last five games overall.
