St. Thomas-MN vs Oklahoma State Prediction

I might take a stab at St. Thomas-MN here. On Friday the Tommies had a stellar first half and would eventually shoot a blistering 60.4 percent from the field alongside 37 rebounds and 16 team assists. St. Thomas-MN has now scored 186 combined points through their two games, but this will be their toughest matchup by far.

As for OK State, they got off to a slow start versus Green Bay but eventually found their rhythm. The Cowboys would go on to shoot 42 percent from the field with a 43-25 rebounding edge (19-3 offensive). That said, if Oklahoma State gets off to another slow start Sunday and doesn’t overwhelmingly dominate the boards I could see St. Thomas-MN eking in for a cover.
