Analysis
Root Reserve on Colorado Oklahoma is 19-15 overall and 7-11 in the SEC. The Sooners were 3-6 on the road in conference. They dropped games in the non-conference against Gonzaga, Nebraska and Arizona St. The Sooners fell to Arkansas 82-79 in the SEC quarterfinals. They beat South Carolina and Texas A&M in the early rounds. Colorado is 17-15 and 7-11 in the Big 12. The Buffs were 2-7 on the road in conference. They had losses in the non-conference against Colorado St, Stanford and Northern Colorado. They come off the 92-83 defeat against Oklahoma Stin a first round Big 12 tournament game. Colorado has won five of its last six games against non-AP-ranked opponents at a neutral venue. Oklahoma has lost the first half in three of its last four day games against non-AP-ranked opponents at a neutral venue. Colorado has a chance to stay very close in the 1st half and be leading going into the second half. Oklahoma defensively does not force turnovers, weak on the glass and allowed 34.2% from three. They are a good offensive team. Colorado offensively secures the basketball and hits 35.3% from three, 53.3% inside and 78% at the line. Their strength on defense is on the glass and allowed 51.6% shooting inside. Buffs on neutral courts shot 47.2% overall and allowed 40.6% shooting. I could see the Buffaloes being very competitive here (especially with the relatively thick line) which they’re strong enough to cover. Play Colorado +9.5.
