Okie State and why

OKLAHOMA STATE +5 1/2 ( Skybook has +6) @ Missouri, 5.5/10

On Jan 27th 5 players from Missouri were suspended because of a brawl late at night at a nightclub. Four of the players have returned but the one was their top player, a point guard who led the team in scoring the last 2 seasons and he was booted from the team.
Their last 4 wins have come against Colorado (2-10 twice), Nebraska ( 5-7) and at home by 3 against K State who has not won a road game since they defeated last place Colorado on Jan 23rd. Missouri's defense seems to have suffered big time as they are allowing 78 ppg the last 6 games

Oklahoma State has 3 very impressive wins in a row. They won at home vs Baylor (tied for 4th in conference) by 10, laying 1 1/2, and after losing 19 straight road games they went into then ranked # 22 Tex A & M and won by 5 getting 12 1/2. Then this past weekend, playing at home, they upset # 4 ranked Kansas, getting 11 and winning by one. The turn around is said to be due to a different pre game preparation by point guard Eaton/. Eaton is averaging 11.2 ppg and 3 assist and 37% on three point shots. But in the last 3 games he is 23 ppg, 6 assist and is 6 of 8 on 3 pointers and should do well against Missouri's poor defense.


The last time Missouri beat the spread as a favorite was December 12th, 0-5, losing 3 outright and the 2 SU wins were against last place Colorado

Time for some beers on the ML, +204

I show this spread should be Missouri -1

OSU is terrible on the road - I think that's why it's high. And the A&M win is a little over-rated as I think A&M is over-rated (from an Aggie here)... just giving some info.

GL. Hope you nail it.

Eaton makes the game winning shot with 2" left..75-73 O State wins

19 road losses in a row (and was over 30 if you include how bad the football team is on the road too) and now they have a 2 game winning streak on the road? this team might be have some magic working from here on out

2 winnable home games and unless the 4 points are taken away that were left on the board tonight, it will be

-4 against Neb, and pk against Oklahoma, but more like 8 and 4
