How To Watch Utah Basketball At Oklahoma State

Jan 31, 2025, 9:17 PM

SALT LAKE CITY—Craig Smith and his Utah basketball squad are in Stillwater for their next Big 12 matchup, the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

The Runnin’ Utes improved their record to 12-8 overall and 4-5 in Big 12 play. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are 10-10, 2-7 and have gone 1-4 since Utah beat them 83-62 in Salt Lake City.

Following their 69-66 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats earlier this week, Utah basketball hopes to carry that momentum into Saturday’s matchup against Oklahoma State.

Utes preparing for an improved Oklahoma State on their home floor

The Utes knocked off the Cowboys by 21 points in the Huntsman Center just three weeks ago. With the return trip to Stillwater, expect an improved effort from the Cowboys, but there are still promising indicators Utah can steal a win on the road.

Through conference play, the Cowboys are more than 13 points better at home (71.8 points per game) than they are on the road (58.4 ppg). They also take better care of the ball, limiting turnovers to 13.0 instead of the 16.8 average away from home.

However, the Cowboys still allow positive opponent shooting percentages at home like they do on the road. On the road, Cowboys’ opponents have a 58.4% effective field goal percentage, while on their home, it’s a 54.8% effective field goal rate.

They allow opponents to convert 61.2% of 2-point attempts at home, which is higher than the 56.8% they give up on the road. In four Big 12 home games, opponents have scored 46% of their points in the paint against the Cowboys, which ranks 294 in the country.

So, expect an improved Cowboys effort on Saturday, but the Utes’ shift in focus to more of an interior offensive attack will be key to their chance at a win in Stillwater.
