BYU vs. Oklahoma betting prediction
The BYU Cougars have been an elite unit offensively, boasting five players averaging over 10.0 points per game, with another two averaging at least 9.0 points per game. In addition to ranking 14th in the nation in points per game, the Cougars rank first in 3-pointers made per game, second in assists and fourth in two-point percentage.
While the Oklahoma Sooners have been strong defensively, they lack the firepower to consistently score against an equally strong BYU unit. Look for the Cougars to extend their winning streak to three as they win by at least two points.
Pick: BYU Cougars -1.5 (-110)
