Oklahoma vs Auburn College Basketball Betting Preview
Let's get this straight: Auburn is arguably the best team in the country. Bruce Pearl has one of the frontrunners for National Player of the Year — Johni Broome — and a plethora of shooters and scorers to flank him.
Plus, the Tigers have massive amounts of depth — when Broome was out, Chaney Johnson and Dylan Cardwell kept things afloat on the interior.
But this poses as a look-ahead spot for Auburn. The Tigers have won 13 straight games and have a massive top-10 matchup against Florida this weekend.
Oklahoma, meanwhile, has also started to find its rhythm again.
The Sooners had a successful non-conference, winning the Battle 4 Atlantis, entering the AP Poll and beating Michigan in Charlotte, NC, but the Sooners lost four straight games at the start of SEC play and are near the bottom of the conference standings.
Part of that has to do with relying heavily on a freshman guard in Jeremiah Fears, but the other part is just the fact that the SEC is brutally tough night in and night out.
While Oklahoma doesn't have talent or depth on par with Auburn, it does have strong coaching from Porter Moser, and a recent 30-point win over Vanderbilt is encouraging.
Add in the fact that the Sooners are 64th in Haslametrics' away-from-home metric, and we may have a nice spot here.
It's a tough sell to fade the SEC's best team at home, but Oklahoma has the perimeter defense (sixth in 3-point percentage) and activity on the glass (22nd in minimizing second-chance opportunities, via Haslametrics), giving it some decent matchup "edges" on that end of the floor.
