Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN and The Odds API several times a day and add the line as soon as there is one.

Advantages Why Oklahoma State can win
- Oklahoma State's offense (112.1 points per 100 possessions, 101st in Division I) meets a Incarnate Word defense that ranks 319th.
- Home court: Oklahoma State play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
- Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Oklahoma State 166th (+0.9), Incarnate Word 273rd (-7.0) of 365.
- Strength of schedule: Oklahoma State 30th (+1.4), Incarnate Word 203rd (-0.2) of 365.
- Team matchup: where Oklahoma State can take advantage. Their shooting efficiency (144th of 365) meets the Incarnate Word shooting defense (314th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up. And their offensive rebounding (169th of 365) meets the Incarnate Word defensive rebounding (260th): a chance to crash the glass for second chances. Pace clash: Oklahoma State play fast (6th of 365 in pace), Incarnate Word slow (334th); whoever sets the tempo gets the game they want.
- Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Oklahoma State. The closest: best player against best player, Parsa Fallah (Oklahoma State: 14.7 pts, 6.0 reb, 0.8 ast, Game Score 12.4) is about even with Tahj Staveskie (Incarnate Word: 17.3 pts, 3.9 reb, 4.1 ast, Game Score 11.7).
- Simulation: Oklahoma State win 3,505 of 5,000 simulated games.

- Team matchup: where Incarnate Word can push back. Their offensive rebounding (120th of 365) meets the Oklahoma State defensive rebounding (178th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances.
- Star matchup: the key positions lean Oklahoma State on paper, but Tahj Staveskie (17.3 pts, 3.9 reb, 4.1 ast, Game Score 11.7) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
- Upset odds: Incarnate Word win 1,495 of 5,000 simulations (30%). A 70% pick still loses about 3 times in 10.
