Oklahoma Finds Thick of SEC Schedule Problematic

Oklahoma (11-12-0 ATS, 13-10-0 O/U) is coming off blowout Losses to two of the best teams in College Basketball and learning how hard life in maybe the toughest conference ever is. The Sooners are led by F Jalon Moore (17.7 PPG, 5.7 RPG), G Jeremiah Fears (15.5 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 4.0 APG), G Duke Miles (10.3 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 2.2 APG), G Brycen Goodline (8.3 PPG, 2.3 RPG), G Kobe Elvis (8.1 PPG, 3.1 APG), F Sam Godwin (5.7 PPG, 5.2 RPG), and F Glenn Taylor Jr. (5.3 PPG, 3.1 RPG). Oklahoma averages 78.5 PPG (#79) and allow 71.7 PPG and averages 14.3 APG (#161) and 31.9 RPG (Tied-#393). Oklahoma (+295 Moneyline) hasn’t made the NCAA Tournament since 2021 when they beat Missouri in the First Round (72-68) and then lost to No. 1-seed Gonzaga in the Second Round (87-71) and with the SEC strong, earning a March Madness berth will be more difficult in 2025.

Oklahoma vs Missouri Prediction

In the last 10 series meetings, both teams have won 5 times with Oklahoma winning and covering ATS the last 3 and going 6-4-0 ATS vs the betting number. The series has been Under-heavy, with the Under 7-3-0 the last 10 series meetings, winning 6 straight before a recent 2-1-0 Over result. In Columbia, the Under is 3-1-0 the last 4 series meetings. Even though the Sooners have won the last 3 meetings—by 19, 11, and 4—Oklahoma catches Mizzou in a bad scheduling spot, off 2 straight Losses—one their first Home Loss—and at Home. This Oklahoma vs Missouri NCAAB pick will look for the Tigers to rebound and to eventually cover the Point Spread in what could be a close game in the first 20 minutes.

Kevin’s Prediction: Missouri -8.5
