Oklahoma State versus Georgia Tech Betting
The breakdown: Seven ten games are always something of a coin flip, and that won’t change with this match up. Las Vegas has the Cowboys as a 1.5 point favorite. Don’t expend too much time worrying about this match up, as neither team has a terribly good chance of getting past Ohio State in the second round.
Why Oklahoma State will win: Oklahoma State has won a few key games this year against big time opponents – or at least, better teams than the 12 loss Yellow Jackets – including an eight point win a few weeks ago over Kansas. The Cowboys’ backcourt, led by James Anderson, will be relied upon heavily to match up against Georgia Tech’s strengths – an NBA sized frontcourt.
Why Georgia Tech will win: Georgia Tech is big down low, and will use that size advantage to crash the offensive boards. Gani Lawal and Derrick Favors are two future NBA first round picks, and will need to play like it to move the Yellow Jackets past Oklahoma State.
Verdict: Heads, Oklahoma State wins, tails, Georgia Tech wins. Consider Georgia Tech and the money line for plus odds.
