Betting on the Oklahoma Sooners (16-6)
Trae Young was contained by No. 19 West Virginia during Monday’s 75-73 home loss. By contain, we meant that Young only had an assist in that game, which was way below par his season average of 9.7 dimes per game. He still had 32 points, though, on 10-for-20 shooting from the field, including four three-pointers. The good thing for Young and the Sooners is that they will face a softer defense next. Iowa State allows only 73.6 points per game, but the Cyclones are less peskier than the frenetic group of Mountaineers defenders. So far this season, Young is averaging 29.8 points per game on 44.5 field goal shooting percentage for the Sooners, who are second nationally with 89.2 points per contest. The Sooners like to drop bombs from behind the arc with 10.3 three-pointers a game on 38.7 percent clip. Their offense is being initiated by their excellent rebounding, thanks in large part to the six Sooners that average at least 4.0 rebounds. Khadeem Lattin leads the team in that department with 6.5 per game.
The Sooners are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
Betting on the Iowa State Cyclones (12-10)
It’s a good time to play the Sooners. For one, Oklahoma is struggling, having lost five of its last seven games. One of the teams that beat Oklahoma lately? Iowa State beat them. The Cyclones took down West Virginia badly on Jan. 31, 93-77. The Cyclones went insane from the outside in that game, going 10-for-18 from the three-point region, and shooting 62.1 percent from the floor overall. It’s not always that the Cyclones will shoot that good, but Oklahoma’s loose defense will present a bug opportunity for them to do it again. The Sooners are giving up 81.7 points per game. Iowa State is averaging 73.7 points per game, and shoots 43.9 percent from the field. They are 99th nationally with 36.5 three-point shooting percentage. Iowa State is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games against the Sooners.
Writer’s Prediction:
Iowa State upsets Oklahoma, 79-76.
