- #891 ASA PLAY ON Oklahoma -8.5 over Colorado, Wednesday at 8 PM ET - This game is part of the Crown Tournament being played in Las Vegas. Oklahoma looks like they’ll have their entire team playing in this one while Colorado will have to deal big time player personnel losses. 3 of CU’s 4 leading scores from this season are already in the transfer portal and won’t play in this game. Starting PG Johnson and Forwards Rancik and Dak are all gone. Those 3 accounted for HALF of the Buffs points this season averaging a combined 40 PPG for a team that averaged 80 PPG. That’s tough to overcome vs a team that is already better by a decent margin in our opinion. The Sooners are 19-15 on the season but they were really good down the stretch winning 8 of their last 11 games after starting the SEC season 1-9. Not only did they win 8 of their last 11, they beat a number of NCAA tournament teams during that stretch including Vanderbilt, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, and Texas A&M and 6 of those 8 wins came by double digits. 2 of their 3 losses during that stretch came by 4 points or less vs A&M and Arkansas (both tourney teams) and the other loss was @ Tennessee who just played in the Elite 8. Since the Sooners started this run back on February 7th, Torvik analytics has them rated as the 13th best team in the country during that stretch and the 3rd best offense in the country averaging 1.31 PPP. They topped 80 points in all 8 of those wins and eclipsed 90 in 3 of them. OU is one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the country (36th) and facing a Colorado defense that allows opponents to shoot 37% from deep (340th nationally). The one thing they do struggle with, defensive rebounding, shouldn’t be an issue here vs a CU team that ranks 235th on the offensive glass and just lost their best rebounder (Dak) to the portal. Oklahoma has better season long efficiency numbers both offensively and defensively and those stats for CU were with their 3 key players that are now gone and they had only one Quad 1 win all season long even at full strength. OU seems to be all in on this tourney while the Buffaloes look like they are simply playing out the string. Sooners by double digits.
