Oklahoma is coming into this game as a 9.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has been playing much better in their recent games, they have not been winning a lot of games recently but they have been playing well enough on the road to keep their games close and have only been losing by a few points in their games. Auburn has been playing great this season with just 1 loss but they are on a very long win streak right now, the longest active streak in college basketball, and Oklahoma will be very motivated to put a stop to that streak. The best bet to place in this game is on Oklahoma to cover the spread here as they will play hard in this game and keep it close.

"I thought Marvin Johnson came in and gave us a lot of energy. Jacob Groves gave us a ton of energy, gave us a super nice lift. And those guys have been practicing hard. Just their effort, you can just see how much they’re wanting to be there.” - Porter Moser on his team’s win against WVU.

 

 

"Well, get the ball to K.D. Johnson and get the hell out of the way. It’s not rocket science, right? K.D. just obviously took over. - Bruce Pearl on his team’s close win against Missouri.
