A huge Big 12 showdown, with Oklahoma having home court. West Virginia is off an emotional win at home over Kansas and now heads out on the road. The defense hasn't been as sharp away from home, allowing 83 and 87 points its last two road contests (0-2 ATS). They face an experienced Oklahoma Sooners squad that is in the top 15 in both scoring offense (87.3 points per game, third) and scoring margin (+16.2, 13th) by holding opponents to just 71.1 points per contest. Four of Oklahoma’s five starters are averaging better than 41% from three-point range. It's a battle tested team, too, facing three top 11 opponents already. Oklahoma has faced #9 Villanova, #11 Iowa State and #1 Kansas, going 2-1 straight up. Oklahoma is also second nationally in three-point field goal percentage (.461). The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the wagering value here is for the home team to win the game. Play Oklahoma on the moneyline.
