Iowa State vs Oklahoma -6.5 O/U 128.5
I am not sure what drove this line up from -5 to -6.5 on the side of Oklahoma. I know that they have a great coach in Porter Moser but it is his first year and Oklahoma hasn’t done a ton, as of yet anyway. The Sooner’s best win is against number 33 on Kenpom Florida and they have losses against a bad Butler team and Utah State. Oklahoma shoots very well at 58% effective FG percentage which is number 2 in the nation, but Iowa State has the 9th best defense allowing only 42.9% effective FG%. Oklahoma also turns the ball over a ton ranking 294th in the nation at 20.9% while Iowa State is a ball hocking defense that ranks number 7 in forcing turnovers at an amazing 26.5% of possessions. Lastly, Iowa State has some great performances away from home against Xavier, Creighton, and Memphis. This is too many points here. Take the dog.
Iowa State +6.5 – 2.5 stars and sprinkle ML
