West Virginia Mountaineers vs Oklahoma Sooners 1/14/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The West Virginia Mountaineers will go against the Oklahoma Sooners in NCAAB action in Lloyd Noble Center, OK, on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at 12:00 PM ET.

By winning 10 of its first 12 games, West Virginia managed to get the job done against a largely poor non-conference slate.

The Mountaineers’ two defeats during that time period came at the hands of Purdue and Xavier, but they also managed to defeat Pitt and Florida.

With victories over Navy, UAB, Buffalo, and Stony Brook, they concluded the non-conference portion of their schedule, but they were not able to continue this success in conference play.

All four of West Virginia’s Big 12 defeats were by a single digit, with three of those defeats.

In their first game, the Mountaineers lost to Kansas State in overtime, and on Wednesday, despite being 1.5-point favorites, they lost to Baylor by five points.

They have a potent offense this year, as seen by their No. 31 adjusted efficiency ranking from KenPom. Although West Virginia boasts a respectable shooting percentage, its offensive glass play was its strong suit.

The Mountaineers will face Oklahoma, which is ranked No. 45 in modified efficiency, with a slight height disadvantage.

Erik Stevenson, a senior guard for West Virginia, leads the team with 13.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.

Senior forward Emmitt Matthews Jr. (10.4), senior guard Joe Toussaint (10.3), and senior forward Tre Mitchell (13.4) are also all in double digits. In terms of experience, West Virginia is placed 83rd out of 363 Division I teams.

The West Virginia Mountaineers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 matches.
The total went OVER in 13 of West Virginia’s last 18 outings.
The Mountaineers are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches.

West Virginia Mountaineers vs Oklahoma Sooners Predictions 1/14/2023

This year, Oklahoma Sooners had a terrible start, falling to Sam Houston State in the first game despite being a 16-point favorite.

The Sooners recovered with a six-game unbeaten run that includes a championship at the ESPN Events Invitational.

Since then, they dropped 5 matches, including three conference contests, but four of those defeats came at the hands of ranked opposition.

Oklahoma defeated Florida to win the final game of its non-conference schedule. The Sooners’ lone Big 12 victory came last Saturday in overtime against Texas Tech, and they almost upset No. 2 Kansas after that. They were beaten by the Jayhawks 79-75 despite being a 10.5-point favorite.

Similar to West Virginia, the Sooners were a strong offensive team, but for different reasons. They shoot exceptionally well, making 56.1% of their 2-point attempts and 36.8% of their 3-point attempts.

The Sooners can improve in two areas: their turnover rate, which is now ranked No. 223; and their offensive rebounding, which is currently ranked No. 336.

The West Virginia defense they are up against is ranked No. 41 in modified efficiency.

Senior forward Tanner Groves averages 10.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, while senior guard Grant Sherfield tops Oklahoma with 17.4 points and 3.4 assists per game.

The Oklahoma Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 matches.
The total went OVER in 6 of Oklahoma’s last 8 matches.
The Sooners are 10-4 SU in their last 14 matches.

West Virginia Mountaineers vs Oklahoma Sooners. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma is not just the superior team in this contest, in my opinion, but it is also playing better right now.

Last weekend, the Sooners won in OT before coming close to defeating No. 2 Kansas on the road.

Given that the Mountaineers were either favorites or slight underdogs in each of those games, West Virginia is currently riding a four-game winless skid that is undoubtedly creating a mental barrier.

They now rely on their offense to win games, which makes them a team to stay away from when playing on the road since they have a 1-13 record in their last 14 outings.

One of the nation’s hottest shooting squads, Oklahoma won or covered the spread in six straight games with this club. The Oklahoma Sooners will win to a predicted score of 71-68.
