Oklahoma Fell Short

In the second half, they were outscored 53-44 and that was the difference as they were knocked off. Oklahoma shot 41.7 percent from the field but only 16.7 percent from behind the three-point line. In this game, they need to try and find more success from deep. Two games ago against Missouri, they really struggled, and they ended up losing 82-58.

In the second half against South Carolina, they scored 51 points, and they are going to need the offense to put on a show again here. Florida shot 60.4 percent from the field and 50 percent from behind the three-point line. Denzel Aberdeen had a strong game putting up 22 points, three assists, and two rebounds.

LSU only has one conference win on the season and they are shooting 45.4% from the field this year.

Missouri vs Oklahoma Prediction

The Oklahoma Sooners have the scoring ability to make this game competitive, but they continue to struggle defensively, and it’s played into losses in seven of their last 10 games. Oklahoma has won just one of their five road games. The Missouri Tigers are coming off a bad loss to Texas A&M, but they’re 15-1 SU at home, and they’ve covered eight of their last 10 games overall. While Oklahoma and Missouri have similar records, it’s the Tigers that are starting to separate themselves. Missouri is also ridiculous at home. I’ll lay the points with the Tigers.

Oklahoma vs Tennessee Prediction

I’m on Oklahoma and the points in this one. I know Tennessee is one of the best defensive units in the country and I agree that they’ve earned the respect enough to lay this kind of number on the road. However, Oklahoma is no slouch and I think Norman will be rocking for this game for Tennessee to come to town. The Sooners were also humiliated in that blowout loss to Auburn, and I have to think that the Sooners will be out to get that taste out of their mouths and will be hungry to make amends here. It won’t be easy, but Tennessee has allowed 70+ in three straight road games and 78+ in two of their last three games overall. I’ll side with Oklahoma and the points here.

Auburn rolls into this matchup as the #1 team in the country and they are undefeated in conference play so far this year. The Tigers are shooting 48.6% from the field and they are scoring nearly 85 points per game. Auburn has scored at least 87 points in three of their last five games and they will be at home for this contest. Oklahoma has won three of their last four games and they are shooting 49% from the field this year. The Sooners are playing their best basketball so far in conference play and they were nearly perfect in the second half of their last game. I do think we could see a higher-scoring game with both teams shooting the ball around 49% from the field, but I feel like this is a huge number against an Oklahoma team that is playing pretty well. Take Oklahoma and the points.

Texas A&M vs Oklahoma Injury Report

Texas A&M doesn’t have a player listed on its injury report. Oklahoma will continue to be without Jadon Jones and Jeff Nwankwo.

Texas A&M vs Oklahoma Prediction

The Texas A&M Aggies should be favored at home, and they’re the more trustworthy team defensively. However, this line is disrespectful toward an Oklahoma team that has a win over Michigan, hung with Texas, and just beat Arkansas on the road as an underdog. Also, Texas A&M and Oklahoma played each other earlier this month, and it was a two-point game. The Sooners defend the three-point line and are top-60 in scoring and top-40 in offensive field goal percentage. Oklahoma has shot makers and if those shots are falling, the Sooners can hang with just about any team in the country. This line is a bit too steep. Give me the Sooners and the buckets on Tuesday night.

• Oklahoma has lost four of its last five games.
• Arkansas has won the first half in four of its last five night games at Bud Walton Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Arkansas vs Oklahoma Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this game with just one conference win so far this season, but they are both looking for their second straight win. Arkansas is coming off of a crazy second half comeback against Georgia in their last game, but they have allowed 78 points or more in two of their last three games. The Razorbacks are shooting 46.8% from the field, but they have scored 65 points or fewer in two of their last four games. Oklahoma is coming off of a win against South Carolina in their last game, but they are 0-2 on the road this year with the losses coming by 10 and 28 points. The Sooners have been the better offensive team this year, but I don’t trust them on the road at all. Take Arkansas to get the cover at home.

Oklahoma vs South Carolina Prediction

I’m on South Carolina here. I just think that you have two teams that could really use a win, and while Oklahoma has been the more talented team from a personnel perspective, the Gamecocks have been competitive in their own right. South Carolina’s lost back-to-back games by just 3 points apiece, while Oklahoma’s lost 2 of their last 3 games by 4 points or less. I just think this is going to be a game that comes down to the final few possessions, and I want the points in my back pocket.

• Texas has won the first half in five of its last six night games at Lloyd Noble Center.

Oklahoma vs Texas Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with 0-3 records in the Big 12, so this is a big game for each side to stay out of the basement. Oklahoma will have the home-court advantage in this matchup, but they scored just 62 points in their last game. The Sooners are shooting 48.1% from the field and they are scoring 81.2 points per game, but their defense has had some problems. Texas is coming off two losses to Tennessee and Auburn, but they were very competitive in both games. The Longhorns are the slightly better offensive team in this matchup and they are allowing just 65.4 points against per game on defense. I like how Texas looked in their last two games and I think their defense will be the difference. Take the Longhorns to win on the road.

Georgia vs Oklahoma Injury Report

The Georgia Bulldogs don’t have a player listed on their injury report. The Oklahoma Sooners will continue to be without Jadon Jones and Jeff Newankwo.

Georgia vs Oklahoma Prediction

The Georgia Bulldogs are in a letdown spot after beating Kentucky on Tuesday as a small dog. It’s why i considered the points. The problem is the Oklahoma Sooners are heading in the wrong direction with back-to-back losses and failed covers in each of their last four games. Oklahoma has a defensive issue in these losses, allowing a combined 187 points in its last two games. Not ideal when going up against a Georgia offense that shoots better than 48 percent from the field and averages 80.5 points. Georgia is 10-0 SU at home. If Georgia is serious about competing for the SEC crown this season, this is a game it wins and doesn’t get content after beating Kentucky. I’ll lay the points with the Bulldogs.

Oklahoma vs Texas A&M Prediction

I’m looking at Oklahoma here. I think Texas A&M is riding high off of the win over Texas in blowout fashion, but now the Aggies have to go on the road to take on a solid, well-coached Oklahoma team off of their first loss of the year. The Sooners do a lot of things well, and I just think this is a spot for A&M similar to what Tennessee dealt with against Florida on Tuesday and look how well that ended up for the Vols. I think Oklahoma gets the win at home in this one, so give me Oklahoma in this game.

These two teams have faced off five times before, and the home team has won all five games. Back in January of last year, Oklahoma was able to secure a 93-69 victory. 

Alabama Offense Continues to Improve

In the last game against South Dakota State, Alabama scored 105 points, but the defense gave up 82 points, and that led to the blowout victory. At halftime, they were up 57-33 and they never looked back on the way to the win. Aden Holloway put up 26 points, two assists, and one rebound.

Alabama vs Oklahoma Prediction

Yes, this has been a series dominated by the home team, but Oklahoma is being overlooked heading into this game.

Oklahoma on the season is averaging 83.1 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. This Alabama defense is giving up 77.2 points per game and they are going to really struggle here.

• Prairie View A&M has lost each of its last 17 games against non-Conference opponents.

Prairie View A&M vs. Oklahoma Prediction

I’m on the Sooners here. My concern with the Sooners is that Prairie View A&M is a bit of a sandwich spot for Oklahoma with their conference opener on deck, but the Sooners have played really well in the non-conference portion of their schedule and Prairie View has played some stiff competition, but it’s also competition they’ve had a hard time keeping it close against. I think the Sooners run away with this one so give me Oklahoma at home.

What a Win for Navy 

Navy’s last game came against the Army Black Knights and they were able to secure the 31-13 victory. Navy was consistent scoring seven points in each of the first three quarters and finishing off the game with 10 in the 4th. Quarterback Blake Horvath had a strong game. He threw for 107 yards and a touchdown and then added another 25 carries for 204 yards and two touchdowns. Two games ago against East Carolina, Navy was able to secure the 34-20 victory. The Midshipmen on the season are averaging 32.2 points while their defense is giving up 22.3 points per game. They run the option offense, but Horvath is a threat to the air and they are going to need him to have a big game here. 

Oklahoma Looks Different

The Oklahoma team that got blown out in the last game against LSU looks a whole lot different than the squad that will play in this game. Oklahoma faced off against LSU in the last game and the offense scored only 17 points while the defense gave up 37 points and that led to the defeat. Jackson Arnold completed 14 of his 21 passes for 110 yards but he decided to transfer after the game and is now off to Auburn. Getting the start in this game under center for the Sooners will be Michael Hawkins Jr. Oklahoma this season is averaging 24.3 points while their defense is giving up 21.6 points per game. In this game, the defense is going to need to find a way to slow down Navy’s offense. 

Navy vs Oklahoma Prediction

Give me Navy as the underdogs here. This Oklahoma squad lost so many pieces that they are really a shell of the team that played during the regular season. I really like Blake Horvath and even against a good defense in Oklahoma, they should find plenty of success here. Navy’s offense is going to run up the score and that will be enough for the Midshipmen to get the job done. Back Navy against the spread here.

Central Arkansas Betting Preview

The Bears went just 2-4 to start the year, losing to BYU, Utah, Western Illinois and SEMO along the way. Central AR would then fall to Georgia Tech, Little Rock, AR-Pine Bluff and Arkansas before another victory versus the Citadel.

In the win over the Citadel on Monday, the Bears were up 47-42 going into the second half. Central Arkansas scored 26 more points in a 73-71 result. Tops in scoring was Layne Taylor with 21 points and five steals.

Oklahoma Sooners Betting Preview

Over on the Sooners’ side, they’ve been unblemished so far. Oklahoma has beaten Lindenwood, Northwestern State, Stetson, East Texas A&M, Providence, Arizona, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Alcorn State, Oklahoma State and Michigan in their first 11 games.

In the Michigan game on Wednesday, the Sooners were down 43-38 going into the second half. Oklahoma hit a 49-43 run the rest of the way in an 87-86 comeback win. Jeremiah Fears topped the team on 30 points.

Why the Oklahoma Sooners will win

• Oklahoma has won each of its last 19 games against non-Conference opponents at Lloyd Noble Center.
• Central Arkansas has lost 11 of its last 13 games against non-Conference opponents.
• Oklahoma has won the first half in each of its last 14 day games at Lloyd Noble Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Why the Central Arkansas Bears will win

• Oklahoma has lost three of its last four home games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• Oklahoma has lost the first half in five of its last six day games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Oklahoma vs Central Arkansas Prediction

I’ll probably stick with Oklahoma, but I’m also probably staying away from this one. The Sooners posted a gutsy second-half comeback against a good Michigan team in their last outing, shooting 47.4 percent from the field with 21-of-24 (87.5 percent) from the line. That makes 80 or more points in three straight games for Oklahoma, and 69 or more points in every game so far.

As for the Bears, they shot a tepid 38.8 percent from the field but did well on foul shots (11-of-13) in their tight win over the Citadel. Central Arkansas has been below 58 points in two of their last four games though, so it’s tough imagining them keeping any sort of pace with Oklahoma.

Before we dive into the Oklahoma Sooners vs. Michigan Wolverines game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Oklahoma Sooners vs. Michigan Wolverines matchup.

Draftkings NCAA College Basketball Showdown Picks

Captain-Jalon Moore, Forward, Oklahoma Sooners $9,400

Talented senior forward Jalon Moore has emerged as the leader in the paint for the Oklahoma Sooners this season. With that in mind, what do the statistics say about Moore’s performance in 2024? To answer this question, let’s examine his game data from the 2024 NCAA regular season.

In the 14 games that Jalon Moore has played for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Moore is averaging 17.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.7 steals a game.

More recently, in the Oklahoma Sooners impressive 94-78 win over the Alcorn State Braves 11 days ago, Jalon Moore certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Moore compiled a massive 20 points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in the Oklahoma Sooners victory over the Alcorn State Braves.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Sooners win over the Alcorn State Braves, Jalon Moore accumulated 27.8 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest.

In my view, Jalon Moore is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s NCAA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Oklahoma forward Jalon Moore at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NCAA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Jeremiah Fears, Guard, Oklahoma Sooners $10,600

In addition to forward Jalon Moore, Oklahoma Sooners guard Jeremiah Fears has been a key contributor to the team’s success this season, especially with his scoring and playmaking abilities

In the 14 games that guard Jeremiah Fears has played for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Jeremiah Fears is averaging a robust 16.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.4 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 14 games that guard Jeremiah Fears has played for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Fears is averaging 31.6 Draftkings points a game.

In conclusion, I fully expect Oklahoma guard Jeremiah Fears to continue his outstanding play versus the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday night.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well in this game (Draftkings price noted): Vladislav Goldin, Center (Michigan Wolverines) $8,200: Roddy Gayles, Guard (Oklahoma Sooners) $8,000.

Why Oklahoma Will Beat Michigan

• Oklahoma has won each of its last 10 games.
• Michigan has lost each of its last three games against the Southeastern Conference at neutral venues.
• Oklahoma has won the first half in four of its last five games against non-Conference opponents.

Michigan vs Oklahoma Prediction

Oklahoma is going to have no issue getting the job done in this game. Oklahoma on the season is averaging 61.5 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here.

Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma Prediction 

Oklahoma comes into this contest looking to stay undefeated on the season, and they have some nice wins over Providence, Arizona, Louisville, and Georgia Tech. The Sooners are shooting nearly 48% from the field and they are the better defensive team in this matchup. Oklahoma State has losses against FAU and Nevada, but they do have wins over Miami and Seton Hall. The Cowboys did allow 86 and 90 points in those two losses, but I think we are going to see a lower scoring game here. Oklahoma plays very strong defense and six of the past seven meetings between these teams have been low scoring, so I like the under here.
