TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION THURSDAY, MARCH 4TH
#728 BAYLOR (-12) over Oklahoma St at 7 PM EST
Off the stunning 94-89 road win at West Virginia, Baylor will return home and do a number on this overachieving Oklahoma State squad. The Cowboys enter this Big 12 battle on a strong 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS run. However, off the three consecutive straight up underdog wins over the Red Raiders and Sooners (twice), the Pokes will meet their match in Waco. Let’s take a look inside the numbers.
Since the start of the 2019-20 season, BU has been one of college basketball true warriors posting a proud 45-5 SU and 31-16 ATS record. In this run battling an opponent that scoots in with a little steam off two or more straight up wins, the Bears have been an absolute force inking a lucrative 13-1 SU and 11-3 ATS record. History will be on Baylor’s side too. In the last 31 meetings between these two squads, the Bears hold a reliable 20-11 SU and 19-10-2 ATS mark including an elite 14-7 SU and 15-6 ATS if the Cowboys enter off a straight up win.
OSU is certainly playing well. That fact is noted. However, according to the Team Stryker College Basketball Database, the Pokes are in prime position to get hammered. Since 1990, college basketball underdogs hold a soft 69-235 SU and 126-168-10 ATS record provided they take the court off three consecutive straight up underdog victories. If our “play against” side scoots in off the comforts of a home game, this system falls to a woeful 23-80 SU and 37-61-5 ATS including a horrible 22-68 SU and 29-57-4 ATS if they are priced as a pup of +12.5 or less. That spells trouble for the ‘Boys.
Ranked second in the nation in scoring margin (+20.4 ppg), the Bears will steamroll this emotionally exhausted Cowboys squad. Take Baylor. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
