Stephen Nover's CBB Wednesday Big Ticket
(NCAAB) Baylor vs. Oklahoma State, 02/08/2017 2:00 PM, Score: 72 - 69
Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Baylor (Away)
Result: Win
Baylor has lost two in a row. But Oklahoma State being favored against the Bears is an overreaction.

The Bears were contending to be top-ranked last week before losing games to Kansas State and Kansas. Now the Bears are in stop-the-pain mode. No Big 12 team plays better defense than Baylor, which gives up the fewest points per game and is No. 1, too, in defensive field goal percentage. Baylor also ranks No. 1 in RPI.

I see Baylor, which defeated Oklahoma State earlier this season, trumping the Cowboys this time around with its superior defense.
