Indiana State vs Oklahoma College Basketball Picks, Best Bets and Odds 11/19/2021

The Oklahoma Sooners and the Indiana State Sooners meet in college basketball action from the HTC Center on Friday afternoon.

The Oklahoma Sooners come into this game on the heels of a 79-74 win over East Carolina last time out. Tanner Groves leads the Sooners in scoring with 16 PPG along with 6.7 RPG while Umoja Gibson has 12 PPG and Jalen Hill has 11 PPG with a team-high 8 RPG as well this season. Jordan Goldwire also leads the Sooners in assists with 5 assists per game as well this season. As a team, Oklahoma is averaging 84 PPG on 55.5% shooting from the field, 38.9% from three and 64% from the foul line while allowing 59 PPG on 38.5% shooting from the field and 26.9% from three this season.

The Indiana State Sycamores will be looking to add to a 77-36 rout of Old Dominion last time out. Cooper Neese leads the Sycamores in scoring with 16.8 PPG along with 5.5 RPG while Cameron Henry has 15 PPG with team-highs of 6.8 RPG and 3.8 APG this season. Micah Thomas has 12.7 PPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Indiana State up to this point in the season while Kailex Stephens and Xavier Bledson each have 9 PPG. As a team, Indiana State is averaging 78.8 PPG on 49.6% shooting from the field, 36.5% from three and 70.5% from the foul line while allowing 63.5 PPG on 37.2% shooting from the field and 31.7% from three this season.

This will be an interesting matchup between a pair of teams that have a lot of points to prove early on this season, but I just think that the Sooners are in a betterspot to follow through on a lot of those expectations. I just don’t think the Sycamores are going to be that much of a threat this season and I look for the Sooners to prove a point here. Give me the Sooners and lay the points.
