Yeah people love to talk about how annoying someone like Jordan Bohannon is. Those guys were both much more annoying/anxiety inducing to go up against.

Well yeah. They were conference opponents.

I have anxiety when we play the Hawks. My level of hatred for Jorbo has never reached what it was for Forte and Page. I think it has more to do with the little b!+c# part as referenced by Velo. I don't think Bohannon, even for all the longevity records he holds, is as good a player as either of those guys were.

How are you only favored by 4? That seems like free money.

OSU's last three games were a win over KState, a 2 point loss to Baylor in overtime and a 4 point loss at Oklahoma, also in overtime. Outside of an early season game versus Oakland, they don't have a bad loss on their record. Okie State is a solid team with a lot of close losses. They failed to close out a number of games this year and they also haven't gotten talked about much due to their post-season ban.

Conversely, we have shot 52% and 40% from 3 in the last two games, both close wins. It's not unreasonable to expect a return to the norm in this game and have it be much closer than we all want. Plus, they are also going to try to avoid the season sweep, while we're dealing with the unpredictable emotions of senior day.

These aren't excuses, merely my thoughts on why the line is where it's at. We should win this one, but we also should have beaten KSU and TCU in Hilton.

The teams are fairly even. If we win by double digits, it'll probably mean that someone went off tonight and OSU laxed on their intensity at the end.

The Cowboys haven't played a "bad" game since the middle of Jan.. 3 straight OT games. 6 of their 10 conference losses are by 5 points or less.

They also match-up well to us. Cisse could be a BIG problem tonight. He could really affect our ability to attack the basket. He's been GREAT as of late

We will need a strong shooting night or force them into a lot of turnovers to win.

This is Big 12 basketball we are talking about. Top to bottom a significantly better conference that what you are used to watching in the B1G. Okie State would do quite well against B1G competition. Not saying they would win the B1G, but they would definitely be in the upper half of the league.

That said, this will be a close game that can go either way.
