Prairie View Used to Life Losing Large on the Road

Prairie View (5-6-0 ATS, 7-4- 0 O/U) has just 1 SU win this season and it came against the College of Biblical Studies in the season opener (111-90). In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. On the second day, God created the College of Biblical Studies so the Panthers could have a team to beat. And on the third day, God created Gatorade. Prairie View A&M is led by G Nick Anderson (18.9 ppg, 5.3 rpg), PG Tanahj Pettway (14.3 ppg), F Marcel Bryant (10.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg), G Jordan Tillmon (9.1 ppg), PG Orlando Hudson Jr. (7.0 ppg, 2.5 apg), G Chauncey Gibson (7.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg), and PG Braelon Bush (6.8 ppg). This team can get scoring from a number of guys, but the competition they face isn’t the greatest. The Panthers average 76.8 ppg (#169) while allowing 94.2 ppg and 12.6 apg (Tied-#315) and 27.9 rpg (#475).

Oklahoma Adjusting Nicely to Hoops Life in the SEC

It seemed Oklahoma (7-5-0 ATS, 7-5-0 O/U) would have its work cut out for it on the hardwood after leaving the Big 12 Conference for the SEC, but the Sooners (#37 Ken Pomeroy Rankings) have really held their own so far and find themselves among an amazing 9 other SEC schools currently sitting in the Top 25 (#1 Tennessee, #2 Auburn, #5 Alabama, #7 Florida, #10 Kentucky, #12 Oklahoma, #13 Texas A&M, #16 Ole Miss, #19 Mississippi State, #23 Arkansas).

Prairie View vs Oklahoma Prediction

This Prairie View vs Oklahoma NCAAB pick will look for a big blowout by the host Sooners in Norman. In their opener, the Sooners blasted Lindenwood (Ken Pomeroy has them at #339) by 33 (93-60) on 52.3% shooting from the floor and 41.2% behind the arc. So with Lindenwood about the same level as Prairie View, a 33-Point win would surprise no one here, and as always, the question in games like this is how high do the oddsmakers set the number? Anything over 40 seems too high and anything under 30 would be too low. This may also be a good game to back the Sooners in the First Half market as they may be up by 20 to 24 points after the first 20 minutes. OU is unbeaten and will race out early to a big lead and then possibly coast and play second- and third-stringers in the final 20 minutes knowing that rugged SEC play starts next month.
