Texas Longhorns vs Oklahoma Sooners Predictions 12/31/2022

 

Oklahoma defeated Florida last time out in a match played at a neutral venue, giving them their second straight victory and third in the previous four games.

 

The Sooners, who enter conference play with a 9-3 record, hope to get off to a strong start in the Big 12. Oklahoma trailed Florida for the whole of the first half and was 10 points behind with 5:12 left before halftime.

 

After regrouping, the Sooners went on a 10-2 run to reduce the deficit to two at halftime. Oklahoma earned the tough win by outscoring Florida 33-22 in the second half.

 

The Sooners’ offensive production was below average this year; with 69 points scored per game, they are ranked 252nd in scoring offense.

 

Oklahoma averages 14.4 assists per game this season while grabbing 31.7 rebounds per game. The Sooners ranked 28th in scoring defense with an average of 60.7 points allowed per game, which demonstrates their strong defensive play.

 

Grant Sherfield, who averaged 18 points and 3.8 assists per game this season, is one of just two players in double digits. Tanner Groves contributes 11.1 points and 6.9 rebounds in each contest.

#6 Texas Longhorns vs Oklahoma Sooners. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #6 Texas Longhorns. This year, Texas was a strong offensive club and a difficult defensive unit.

 

Their offensive stats give them an advantage in this situation because Oklahoma is a weak offensive club. They are below average this season in turnover percentage and offensive rebounding percentage, however, some of that may be attributable to tempo.

 

Carr recently played fantastically for the Longhorns in their victory over Texas A&M-Commerce, and they have a very deep rotation to choose from.

 

Both teams are proficient shooters, but Texas has the depth and experience to win what should be a competitive game the whole way. The #6 Texas Longhorns will win to a predicted score of 69-65
