Final Thoughts
BYU’s more complete offense, cleaner assist-to-shot profile, and superior rebounding rates make the Cougars the right pick to survive a tricky road test. Oklahoma State’s shooters can keep this close in spurts, but BYU’s inside-out scoring and late-game execution give them multiple ways to finish possessions. I'm laying the points with BYU here, as I don't hold their two straight losses against them given how good their competition was during that span.
