Oklahoma is entering this game with a 16-6 record overall, a 4-5 conference record, and they are 11-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming off a loss against the Central Florida Knights in their last game. Le'Tre Darthard led the team in points in that game with 14 while Rivaldo Soares was next on the team with 11. John Hugley IV led the team in assists with 3 in that game while Jalon Moore led the team in rebounds with 11.

The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has looked good in their games this season with their 16-6 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They haven't looked great in the Big 12 this season with their 4-5 conference record, but they have looked a lot better in their home games with their 11-2 home record and will be able to lean on that here. Meanwhile, BYU has also looked great in their games this season with their 16-5 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. BYU has also struggled more in the Big 12 though as they have a 4-4 conference record in their 1st year of being in the conference. They haven't been any better in their road games either with their 2-3 road record. BYU pulled off a nice road win against West Virginia in their last game but it will be tough for them to pull off 2 in a row, especially against a much better team in Oklahoma here. Oklahoma is also coming off a loss in their last game but will be looking to bounce back with a much needed win to get back to .500 in the Big 12 and they have looked like a different team on their home court this season. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

“I just thought they were a step ahead of us on both ends the whole night. They were a step ahead of them when we were trying to guard them. They were a step ahead of them defensively when we drove.
