(NCAAB) Texas-Arlington vs. Oklahoma State,
Point Spread: 19.50 | -110.00 Texas-Arlington (Away)
Result: Loss
Oklahoma State went 21-9 and was a No. 4 seed in last season's NCAA Tournament. That was last year.

I don't see the Cowboys stomping UT Arlington by nearly the margin that this point spread suggests.

Gone from the Cowboys' lineup is superstar Cade Cunningham, the first overall pick in the NBA draft. Then the Cowboys received tough news from the NCAA, which rejected their appeal and upheld a ruling banning Oklahoma State from playing in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. That's a tough mental blow.

Arlington returns an experienced roster from last season's 13-13 team. The Mavericks opened with an exhibition win against Southeast Oklahoma State a week ago. Greg Young, a long-time assistant, is now the Mavericks' head coach. He's not afraid to play at Oklahoma State's fast tempo. Arlington should be a lot more motivated in this game than Oklahoma State.
