Trap Game

This is a nightmare trap game for Oklahoma State. 

First, they are pissed off they got dissed for the dance. Second, they have to travel on the road for the consolation losers tournament, known as the NIT, even though they’re a higher seed!  I’ve seen this so many times before: “Why are we here?” 

Mid-majors hardly ever get to wrangle with elite Power 5 teams in meaningful games. I look for the Penguins and their beleaguered  fans to be deliriously excited for this game. 

The Cowboys are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning record. Ouch. Watch the season ending Cowboys meltdown begin at around the 7:00 minute mark. Penguins in a shocker! 

Pick: Youngstown State + 5.5
