Both teams have really been a mess after strong starts. Baylor is starting to show some signs of life while Oklahoma State seems to be doomed to miss the tournament despite being a consensus top 4 seed just a few weeks back.
Both are bubble teams at this point. Whoever wins tonight's game could do themselves a lot of help as far as getting back into the Field of 64 while the loser will have a lot of work to do over the last 3 weeks.
Baylor is -5.5. Marcus Smart still has one game remaining on his 3 game suspension. I think 5.5 is too many points but OK State might be a lost cause at this point.
