The first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament gets underway with Cincinnati taking on Oklahoma State at 12:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+).
Oklahoma State beat Cincinnati, 78-67, just three days ago; however, it’s the Bearcats favored by six and a half points for Tuesday’s conference tournament matchup according to live college basketball odds.
In addition, the Cincinnati vs. Oklahoma State over/under sits at 138.5 as of the time of writing.
So what is the sharpest college basketball pick for Tuesday’s matinee?
Action PRO’s premium picks and betting tools provide the answer below.
College Basketball Odds, Sharpest Pick for Cincinnati vs. Oklahoma State
*Odds as of Tuesday morning
As mentioned above, the Cincinnati vs. Oklahoma State total is 138.5 heading into Tuesday afternoon’s game.
However, this total initially hit the market at 138.5 before bettors pounced on the over, kicking the number up to 139.5.
At that point sharps came in hard on the under, steaming it back down to the opener of 138.5, with DraftKings now at 137.5 and bet365 offering 138.
For those curious, steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
This line movement has been tricky thus far, but reading the Action PRO tea leaves suggests that smart money is coming in on the under.
With that said, this total does vary depending on the sportsbook, so be sure to shop for the best line if taking a position on Tuesday’s Cincinnati vs. Oklahoma State under.
