The Cowboys have impressed early this year. They absolutely hammered N.C. State back when many thought they were championship material and they have just two losses on the season.<\/p>\n

[ad-6571516]<\/p>\n The Wildcats have a little bit of everything: \u00a0size, shooting, and Rodney McGruder. \u00a0McGruder is a swiss army knife providing scoring, rebounding and excellent perimeter defense. \u00a0The size comes from Jordan Enriquez who is 6\u201911 and defends the rim while the shooting is from Shane Southwell who is hitting 45% of his three point shots. \u00a0They have scrapiness too in the form of guard Will Spradling.<\/p>\n K State is perfect at home (7-0) but is an awful 3-6 ATS overall this season. \u00a0One factor I really don\u2019t like about this team is that they only hit on 65% of their free throws. \u00a0Even if they are playing with the lead late their sometimes struggles on offense are compounded by failing in this elementary part of the game.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0Oklahoma State +2.5<\/strong> Cowboys vs Wildcats CBB Basketball Spread\/Handicapping The Cowboys have impressed early this year.
