Houston vs Oklahoma State prediction<\/p>\n

Houston vs Oklahoma State best bet: Under 147.5 (-116)<\/p>\n

Oklahoma State<\/a> has been a scoring machine, averaging 84.1 points per game (second in the Big Ten), and coming off a season-high 111 in an OT win over UCF.
\u00a0
But they\u2019re colliding with a dominant Houston defense, which ranks second in college hoops, allowing 62.3 points per game.
\u00a0
This is one of the few times when the total for one of their games is 150 points or higher.
\u00a0
Even when they suffered a late-season 3-game skid to ranked clubs Iowa State, Arizona, and Kansas, the games were played at their pace, none topping 139 points.<\/p>\n
