Oklahoma State vs. Nevada Prediction

I’m with Nevada here. I think Nevada has a strong edge in terms of size, and Oklahoma State’s been playing with fire, playing in a lot of close games that shouldn’t be close earlier in the year, and got burned against FAU. Nevada is the better team on both ends of the floor and their strength defensively matches up well to slow down OK State. I’ll side with Nevada in this one.
