The Oklahoma Sooners will sit atop the Top 25 for the first time since 1990, but they have been a terrible bet in conference play recently. The Sooners are just 2-11 ATS in their past 13 games against Big 12 opponents and will square off against the Iowa State Cyclones Monday.
- The visiting team is 0-6 SU in the last six games between Oklahoma and Iowa State.
- The total has gone UNDER in five of the last seven between these teams.
- Oklahoma is 1-6 ATS in their past seven games.
When these teams met on January 2, it was Ryan Spangler who was possibly the biggest difference maker for Oklahoma. The senior had arguably his best game of the season as he shot 61.5 percent for 20 points while notching 12 rebounds. Buddy Hield continues to be the focal point for the Sooners though, as the guard is leading all D1 players in points per game and has scored 20 points or more in nine of the past 10 games.
Iowa State has been just as lethal offensively as Oklahoma this season with the team ninth in the nation in points per game with four of their starting five players averaging 12.5 points or more. However, the Cyclones are coming into Monday’s affair slumping, as they are just 2-3 SU in their past five with losses to Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas.
