The Wildcats' offensive rating spiked in the final five games, fueled by hot outside shooting. Northwestern knocked down almost 42% of its 3-point looks, and now it faces a Penn State defense getting buried from beyond the arc.

Both teams are significantly better on offense than defense but this total looks inflated when you consider how much better they shoot at home. Oklahoma State puts up 88.8 ppg on 54.5 eFG% at home but that drops to 76.2 ppg on 48.3 eFG% in road and neutral site contests. Meanwhile, the Buffs average 84.4 ppg in Boulder but that plummets to 73.5 ppg away from home. The Pokes also lost second-leading scorer Parsa Fallah (14.7 ppg, 59.8 FG%) to a season-ending injury two weeks ago, while Colorado's third-leading scorer Sebastian Rancik (12.3 ppg) is doubtful.
