Before making any Oklahoma State vs. UConn picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated more than $1,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows UConn is having a great start to the season. The Huskies are constantly swinging the ball around to get the best look at the rim. They head into this game ranked fourth in the Big East in scoring (74.3), second in 3-point percentage (.354), and fifth in assists (13.75). Junior forward Adama Sanogo is a powerful force in the paint who can score at will down there. Sanogo leads the team with 18.5 points and seven rebounds per game.

The model also knows Oklahoma State has been playing solid defense through the first seven games. The Cowboys are forcing their opponents into some difficult shots and limiting extra opportunities. They are allowing 65.7 points per game and a field goal percentage of just 39%. Junior forward Moussa Cisse is a big reason due to his length and athleticism in the paint. Cisse is an anchor on the glass and a shot-blocker. He's putting up 10 points, 10.6 rebounds and three blocks per game. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Oklahoma State vs. UConn. It is leaning Over on the total and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 60% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
