Why are Sooners a dog?

[KRIT]

Was expecting OU to be a short favorite. Don't they have the guards to beat the press? Why are they a dog?

Is that why OU has beaten WVU both times they played this year including by 14 points on their home floor?

That is the one thing that has me a little hesitant to pull the trigger on OU, very hard to beat a team 3 times in one season. But at the same time, the more you see that press the easier it is to beat. Typically with pressing teams like wvu and vcu, I'll fade them if the opposing team has the right guard play.

WVU struggles against teams with good guards that can shoot.

WVU isn't a good shooting team. They produce offense by turning teams over.

If OU protects the ball, they will win. If they have a bunch of turnovers, they will lose.

I took OU small but it feels like the wrong side. On paper OU should win, but books seem to like WVU given the line. OU has been in a funk for quite a while now so I'd expect them to give full effort to try to gain momentum going into the tournament. Yesterday was the best they've looked in a long time.

took wvu small just based on the line, nothing more

took wvu pretty big.. i think okla has looked very unimpressive lately.. yesterday they looked good but i didnt think they could keep it up for 2 games.. not sure what happened with them but they dont look like the same team.. GL

OU already has 20 turnovers.

Playing a rested WVU the next day after a tough game against Iowa State is not fun.

WVU is 10-20 from downtown and just banked a three in. This is WVU's night.

You gotta let that count. Lol
