Tuesday Games in the Big 12

Six overall games in the Big 12 this evening, four of which should be automatic wins while two represent more of a challenge. Tonight will be a good barometer for both Oklahoma State & Kansas State fans on how good their teams might actually be this season as they take on name opponents.  All games times listed below are in central time.

Wagner @ (24) Texas A&M (7 P.M.) - Game shouldn't be a contest but will be interesting to see how A&M responds after playing an OT game. Wouldn't be surprised to see a somewhat sluggish start.

Sacramento State @ Oklahoma (7 P.M.) - The Hornets of Sac. State come in at 3-7 and are ranked as the 308^th overall squad in points scored per game. If OU finds a way to lose this one at home then their season is really going to be awful.

Chicago State @ Iowa State (7 P.M.) - The Cougars of Chicago State enter with a 3-10 record and six times this year their opponents have scored 94 or more points in a game. Fred Hoiberg should gain another victory and get a chance to work on whatever flaws he wants to address in this one.

Grambling State @ Nebraska (7 P.M.) - Another cupcake for the Big 12 to feast on tonight. Grambling State ranks 315^th overall in points scored a game averaging only 60.7 a game. Chalk this one up as a win for the Cornhuskers.

Stanford @ Oklahoma State (8 P.M. ESPNU) - While on paper this would appear to be a strong test for the Cowboys with a Pac-10 school coming to visit that may not necessarily be true. Stanford is coming off a thrashing on the road against Butler where they trailed by 19 at the half and never got any closer in the 2^nd half. For Stanford the player to watch is Jeremy Green, he is averaging 16.4 points a game. Chances are Oklahoma State and the crowd inside Gallagher-Iba turn this one into a double digit victory for the Cowboys and gain the Big 12 another notch over the Pac-10.

Kansas State vs UNLV (8 P.M. ESPN2) - Full preview being posted later.
