In the BetUS NCAA college basketball betting odds, Missouri is listed as a 5.5-point favorite, with a total of 143.5 points.
Here are some of the NCAAB betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
* OSU has won four of its last five games SU
* OSU has played seven of its last nine games UNDER the total
* OSU has covered two of its last 11 road games
* OSU has lost 19 of its last 20 road games SU
* MIZZ is 1-3-1 ATS in its last five games
* MIZZ has played five of its last six games OVER the total
* MIZZ has won 13 of its last 16 home games SU
* MIZZ has won four of the last five meetings SU
* Four of the last five meetings have gone UNDER the total
* MIZZ has had the shooting edge in three of the last four meetings
* MIZZ has made more three-pointers in each of the last three meetings
Sure, if you look on the surface the technical numbers would seem to greatly favor Missouri, as the Tigers have won 13 of 16 in its own building, while Oklahoma State has dropped 19 of 20 games on the road.
However, the one win in the last 20 road games was the LAST road game. That was against nationally-ranked Kansas.
Meanwhile, Missouri, though beating some of the lesser lights in the Big 12, has lost touch with the contenders of late, blown out by 19 against the Jayhawks and 37 against K-State, sandwiched around a 77-69 home loss to the Aggies. Stefhon Hannah, whose thug-like behavior got him suspended, has been a major loss for Missouri, as he was the playmaker on the offensive end, and a key figure in the Missouri trap on defense.
We understand that OSU has had some ball-handling woes, but we have to consider who IS better, who's PLAYING better, and who's got confidence right now. With their recent impressive string, college basketball betting odds.
