Oklahoma vs Arizona College Basketball Betting Preview
Jalon Moore, Jeremiah Fears and Kobe Elvis have proven that they can score for Oklahoma; each has had at least one game in which they have led the Sooners in scoring this season.
However, against what level of competition?
The best team Oklahoma has played is Providence — which is 69th in KenPom, is currently missing its best player Bryce Hopkins and hasn't looked very good this season.
And even then, the Sooners nearly gave that game away in Nassau.
Meanwhile, Arizona has been more than tested; it faced Wisconsin and Duke already this season, although it lost both games.
Even though the Sooners' defense has been solid (40th in KenPom's adjusted defensive efficiency metric), they have not faced a team with the tempo and offensive skill set of Arizona.
Plus, Caleb Love, who has been struggling mightily this season, scored 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting against Davidson in the first round of this tournament. The short rest is actually beneficial to him maintaining that rhythm.
Arizona keeps rolling.
