Florida aims to maintain dominance against visiting Oklahoma
Grade B+: Florida Gators Spread -14

The Florida Gators, boasting a strong 5-3 conference record, are set to host the Oklahoma Sooners in a compelling SEC matchup at Exactech Arena. The Gators have been impressive this season, with a 7-1 record in their last eight games, including three victories by margins exceeding 20 points. Their offensive efficiency ranks fourth nationally, complemented by a defense that has held six of their last eight opponents under 70 points. In contrast, the Sooners have faced challenges against top-tier teams, and overcoming a 14-point spread against a dominant Florida squad on their home court presents a significant hurdle.

Expect offensive fireworks as Florida hosts Oklahoma
Grade B+: Over 156.5 Total Points

The Florida Gators, boasting a formidable 5-3 conference record, are set to host the Oklahoma Sooners in an SEC showdown at Exactech Arena. The Gators have been on a tear, winning seven of their last eight games, largely due to their explosive offense, which ranks fourth nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency. They've consistently surpassed the 80-point mark, averaging 83.8 points per game this season. On the other hand, the Sooners, with a 3-5 conference record, have demonstrated offensive prowess themselves, averaging 77.7 points per game. However, their defense has been less stringent, allowing 72.5 points per game. The over/under for this matchup is set at 156.5 points. Considering both teams' offensive strengths and Oklahoma's defensive vulnerabilities, a high-scoring contest seems imminent, making the over a compelling bet. Prediction Grade: B+
