Oklahoma is coming into this game as a 1.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has not been having as great a season as Arkansas has been but they still have only 2 losses and have been playing well. They will be on a neutral site for this game but they are still playing the game in their state in a bigger venue and will likely have more of their fans support. Arkansas has been playing very well but they are one of the few undefeated teams left and that puts a major target on their backs. Oklahoma will be looking to hand them their first loss on this big stage for them. The best wager to place in this game is on Oklahoma to cover the spread here and win this game straight up on the moneyline.

“I thought he was a menace out there defensively. There’s been times maybe where we needed Chris to get a little bit better. Tonight, he took a huge leap forward from a defensive standpoint, for sure.” - Eric Musselman on Chris Lykes in their win against Charlotte.

 

 

“We worked so much on getting the ball in the middle of the zone and the crazy thing about it is they’ve played eight possessions of zone all year, but we literally worked on it for three, four days. Every day we did a zone segment in practice. So, we just said to ourselves, even though they’ve only played eight possessions all year, we felt if we were really getting our man going, they were going to go to that zone.” - Porter Moser on his team’s loss against Butler.
