After Sportsbook the season as the talk of the college basketball world, the Oklahoma Sooners have come crashing down to earth. Oklahoma is just 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS in its last six games thanks to an inconsistent offense. However, returning to Lloyd Noble Center to host the West Virginia Mountaineers on Monday could be a boost, as the Sooners have won 14 straight home games.
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Oklahoma’s last 6 games.
- Oklahoma is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as favorite.
- West Virginia is 5-2 SU and ATS in its last 7 games as an underdog of 2.5 or less.
Oklahoma’s season started to get rocky thanks to a loss in its first meeting with West Virginia earlier this season. That game saw Oklahoma score a then-season-low 76 points while star freshman Trae Young struggled against the perimeter defense of Jevon Carter. Young has since started to harness his play, becoming more selective with his shot while still tallying plenty of points.
The Mountaineers have not exactly been world-beaters since their victory over Oklahoma, with West Virginia sporting a 3-5 record since that victory in Morgantown. The typically stout defense has been surprisingly vulnerable during WVU’s losing ways with the team surrendering 80 or more points in three of its past four. Keep an eye on West Virginia’s lineup, as the team has been dealing with the flu running through the locker room – and ultimately made coach Bob Huggins decide against the Press Virginia defense in their most recent outing.
