Oklahoma State\u2019s self-destruction is not over yet as the Cowboys lost their third game in a row, mainly because of their lethargic defense. They’re a good offensive team with a bad defense team, \u00a0sounds like a team whose points often go Over, right? \u00a0More about the Cowboys and four other bankable teams after the jump.<\/p>\n

Nebraska Cornhuskers <\/b><\/h3>\n

Trend: <\/b>6-0 ATS in last 6<\/p>\n

Next Game<\/b>: @ Michigan Wolverines \u2013 February 5 | 6:30 PM ET<\/p>\n

The Cornhuskers are coming off a morale-boosting win against Indiana, where Nebraska climbed out of a 16-point deficit and took home a 60-55 win. It was the Cornhuskers\u2019 second straight victory and sixth consecutive win against the spread.<\/p>\n

Wichita State Shockers <\/b><\/h3>\n

Trend: <\/b>7-1 ATS in last 8 road games<\/p>\n

Next Game<\/b>: @ Indiana State Sycamores \u2013 February 5 | 8:00 PM ET<\/p>\n

\"Fred<\/a><\/p>\n

Making a strong candidacy for a No. 1 seed in March are the Shockers, whose undefeated 23-0 SU record speaks volumes of the team\u2019s success in the regular season. However, their relatively weak Strength of Schedule (SOS) also speaks a lot about Wichita State\u2019s uncertain future in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s still the regular season, with a parade of games against unspectacular schools up ahead, expect the Shockers to collect more wins, each in convincing fashions. Five of Wichita State\u2019s remaining eight games are on the road, Shockers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight away from Wichita.<\/p>\n

New Mexico Lobos <\/b><\/h3>\n

Trend: <\/b>5-0 ATS in last 5<\/p>\n

Next Game<\/b>: vs. Wyoming Cowboys\u2013 February 5 | 11:05 PM ET<\/p>\n

\"Alex<\/a><\/p>\n

Junior center Alex Kirk came back from a shin injury after missing two games and scored 13 points against San Jose State to help New Mexico win 72-47 over the Spartans. In that game, New Mexico easily covered its 18.5-point spread as favorite. Kirk\u2019s presence down low provides another offensive option for the Lobos who are averaging 77.0 PPG.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma State Cowboys <\/b><\/h3>\n

Trend: <\/b>5-0 OVER in last 5<\/p>\n

Next Game<\/b>: @ Texas Tech Red Raiders \u2013 February 8 | 9:30 PM ET<\/p>\n

The latest example of how bad things have become for the Cowboys was their gut wrenching 98-97 triple overtime loss at the hands of Iowa State. It was the Cyclones’ first win at Stillwater in nearly 26 years. It was also Oklahoma State\u2019s third loss in a row and fourth in six games. But not everything is going south for the Cowboys, as they still know how to score. After all, they own the nation\u2019s ninth-best offense (83.8 PPG).<\/p>\n

Defense seems to be the problem for Oklahoma State, who are giving away 68.9 PPG to opponents \u00a0this season. Their defensive game has gotten even worse in the Cowboy’s last three games, where they surrendered an average of 87.3 PPG. This is the reason for Oklahoma State’s fifth straight game going Over in total points.<\/p>\n

Indiana Hoosiers <\/b><\/h3>\n

Trend: <\/b>5-0 UNDER in last 5<\/p>\n

Next Game<\/b>: @ Minnesota Golden Gophers \u2013 February 8 | 8:15 PM ET<\/p>\n

[sc:NCAAB240banner ]After a huge 63-52 upset win over No. 10 Michigan, Indiana is a team to watch, for now. The Hoosiers used a hard-nosed approach in that game, which resulted to the Wolverines\u2019 lowest scoring output so far this season.<\/p>\n

Tom Crean\u2019s team is allowing just 52.7 PPG and owns the boards in almost every game. Indiana rarely allows opponents to get second-chance points, as the Hoosiers are the eighth in the nation in rebounds (41.6 RPG).<\/p>\n
