Oklahoma
Moneyline Pick: Missouri (-205) - B+

Missouri's recent five-game winning streak positions them strongly against a struggling Oklahoma team grappling with key player injuries. The absence of Oklahoma's leading forward has significantly weakened their defense, providing Missouri's dynamic guard trio ample opportunities to dominate the court. Additionally, Missouri's consistent performance in high-pressure games gives them an edge, especially as both teams vie for playoff spots with over 41 games already played. Considering these factors, a bet on Missouri's moneyline at -205 offers a solid potential return given their form and Oklahoma's vulnerabilities. Grade: B+

Over/Under Pick: Under 161.5 (–110) - A-
The Missouri Tigers enter the game on a two-game winning streak, boosted by strong defensive performances, while the Oklahoma Sooners have been struggling with a four-game losing streak and significant injuries to their starting lineup. Missouri's key player has consistently held down Oklahoma’s top scorer in previous matchups, and the defensive adjustments may limit Oklahoma’s offensive capabilities. Additionally, Missouri’s disciplined play is likely to keep the total score under the 161.5 mark. Grade: A- with high confidence and valuable return potential.
Spread Pick: Oklahoma, +5 (-110) - B


Oklahoma's recent turnaround showcases their determination, breaking a prolonged losing streak that has revitalized the team’s spirit. Additionally, Oklahoma faces significant injuries to key players, diminishing their offensive prowess and defensive stability. Historically, the Sooners have clawed their way back in tight conference matchups, often outperforming expectations. Considering these factors, betting on Oklahoma to cover the +5 spread presents a solid opportunity with moderate risk and potential financial reward.
