The Houston Cougars look to lock down the 2 seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament with a win in its regular season finale against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
My Houston vs. Oklahoma State prediction and college basketball picks have the Cougars bottling up the high-octane Cowboys on Saturday, March 7.
Houston vs Oklahoma State prediction
Houston vs Oklahoma State best bet: Under 147.5 (-116)
Oklahoma State has been a scoring machine, averaging 84.1 points per game (second in the Big Ten), and coming off a season-high 111 in an OT win over UCF.
But they’re colliding with a dominant Houston defense, which ranks second in college hoops, allowing 62.3 points per game.
This is one of the few times when the total for one of their games is 150 points or higher.
Even when they suffered a late-season 3-game skid to ranked clubs Iowa State, Arizona, and Kansas, the games were played at their pace, none topping 139 points.
