Why Oklahoma can cover
The Sooners ran out to a perfect 13-0 start this season but have struggled overall in their first season in the SEC. The nation’s toughest conference has dealt Oklahoma 10 losses in 14 games, but the Sooners are coming off a 93-87 win over Mississippi State on Saturday.
Oklahoma held Mississippi State to 39.7% shooting in the victory and Jeremiah Fears had 27 points and 10 assists. Sam Godwin also posted a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds while Jalon Moore added 18 points in the win. See which team to pick here.
Why Kentucky can cover
The Wildcats suffered a 96-83 loss at the hands of Alabama in their last outing on Saturday. Koby Brea led the team with 20 points in the defeat and Amari Williams had a solid outing with 17 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. However, the Wildcats shot just 42.6% from the floor as a team.
Otega Oweh, a former Oklahoma star, went 1-for-9 from the floor in the game. He’ll have to bounce back in a big way against his former team as Kentucky’s leading scorer (15.7 ppg). Kentucky is 13-6 against the spread over its last 19 February games. See which team to pick here.
