A matchup of Top 25 teams in Big 12 College Basketball takes place tonight between the 21st-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the 16th-ranked Baylor Bears. The game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPNu. Currently the Betting Odds for the game have the Bears favored by a couple of buckets in this one at home.

Oklahoma State has done well for themselves the last few weeks, winning four of their six games but knocking off ranked Texas and Kansas teams the past two contests. What was a potential NCAA Tournament bubble team has evolved into a solid squad that is going to be in the Big Dance, provided they don't have a massive collapse down the stretch.

Picking up a road win at Baylor would certainly help the resume. 

The Bears are one of the best rebounding teams in America, hauling in better than 41 per contest, which ranks fourth. Rico Gathers is a big part of that, bringing down 12.5 per night, which includes better than five offensive rebounds per game. That has helped Baylor get additional looks on the offensive end, which has helped them win five of their last six games overall.

Baylor has won 13 of 14 games at home this season as well, only losing to Kansas by a single point on their own floor. That's not great news for Oklahoma State, with the Cowboys sporting just a 2-5 record on the road this season. They have two of the best scorers in the conference in Le'Bryan Nash and Phil Forte as the duo are the top scoring pair in the Big 12. 

Two teams that are playing well here tonight should make for a solid game. Both can play defense as each allow less than 60 points a game to opponents, but Baylor is too good at home. They should be able to pick up the win over the Cowboys in this one.
