College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: West Virginia vs. Oklahoma State

The Big 12 is an absolute gauntlet, even more so this season than usual, but their consistency gives us an edge in betting on their conference games.

This game is being played in Stillwater, and Oklahoma State ranks 46th in the nation when playing on their home court. They have been playing much better of late, and their losses are closer. After coming off a heartbreaking loss in Kansas, they should be back with vengeance to take on West Virginia.

Oklahoma State's defense is what I trust the most here. Their 18th-ranked defense is suffocating down low, which is where West Virginia does over half their scoring. The Pokes’ offense isn't anything to go crazy about, but the Mountaineers’ defense isn't their defense of old. I'm taking the home dogs here.  

Play: Oklahoma State -2.5 (-110)
