Oklahoma is coming into this game as a 6.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. St. Bonaventure has not been playing very well in their recent games as they have won 2 of their last 3 games but did not even make it 1 round in their A10 tourney as they were knocked out by Saint Louis in that game. They did not finish the season off playing well as they were losing games and even the games they won in they were only winning by a few points. They are going up against an Oklahoma side that just missed out on the NCAA tourney but they started playing very well at the right time of the season. They have won 5 of their last 6 games and they have been winning more games by double digits recently. They have played very well at home this season and they have even won their last 2 games at home by double digits. This is the best Oklahoma has been playing all season and they will not be stopped here at home by a St. Bonaventure team that has been fading in their recent games. Oklahoma will cover the spread here.

“One play doesn’t define you. He’s been everything to our program, to me as the head coach. He epitomizes everything that we want in a player. A good student. Keeps his nose clean socially. He’s a hard worker. He’s a captain for four years. … I told him he has nothing to apologize for. We’re here and a big reason is because of what he’s done for us.” - Mark Schmidt on Lofton after a loss in the A10 tourney.

 

 

“They should be proud of themselves, you know, because it’s a life lesson. I said it the other night. I was gutted, but I was more gutted for them. Their gut is, because I should have a lot more in my career. Players have a limited number, so I really was heartbroken for them. And then, I mean, it was really tough when they walked out of here and we were literally just going, ‘Man, we’ve got to turn around and play.’” - Porter Moser after his team’s win against Missouri State.
