Prediction
Oklahoma State leads the all-time series 27-11, including a 13-3 record in Stillwater, but TCU has won seven of the last nine meetings. Both teams go into this game feeling good about themselves with victories on Saturday. But we’ll go with the local team given its recent run of success against OSU and the idea that the Cowboys won’t be able to take advantage of TCU’s suspect perimeter defense. TCU ranks last in the Big 12 in 3-point defense but OSU is the worst 3-point shooting team. Expect a low-scoring affair. TCU 63, Oklahoma State 59.
