Hield Led Sooners Dominating Bedlam

The Oklahoma Sooners have never lost to the Oklahoma State Cowboys when star Buddy Hield steps on the court. Hield has suited up against Oklahoma State six times in his career, missing one game in the rivalry with a broken foot as a freshman, and has led the Sooners to a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS record in those games. The Cowboys have been unable to stop Hield as he has averaged 18.7 points in those games while scoring 22 or more in three of the last four.

Shark Bites
  • Oklahoma is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against the Big 12.
  • Oklahoma State has won three of their past four against ranked teams.
  • Oklahoma State is 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS in their last five games as underdogs .

Though Hield gets many of the headlines, the supporting cast in Norman is almost as deadly. Oklahoma is leading all D1 schools in three-point shooting percentage with their starting five averaging 50 percent from downtown.

Oklahoma State enters Wednesday coming off back-to-back 17-point road losses against Baylor and West Virginia. Those two games saw the Cowboys average nine points less on offense while allowing 14 points more on defense compared to their season averages. After an inconsistent start to the season, senior Jeff Newberry has stepped up and has averaged 14 points while shooting nearly 49 percent in the last five games.
