In game four against Denver, it was another loss for Houston Baptist. The Huskies had a one-point edge at halftime but couldn’t hold on in a 74-61 loss. Zach Iyeyemi led the way on 11 points and one rebound. 

Over on the Oklahoma side, their year started off a perfect 4-0. In that initial quartet, the Sooners beat Northwestern State 77-59, UTSA 96-44, East Carolina 79-74 and Indiana State by a score of 87-63.

Oklahoma is 2-6 ATS in their last eight at home and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 overall. The Sooners are 0-4 ATS in their last four Wednesday games. 

Meanwhile, the Huskies are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games and 0-4 ATS in their last four overall. Houston Baptist is 1-4 ATS in their last five Wednesday games as well. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with Oklahoma. The Sooners faced a hot Utah State team in their last outing and couldn’t stay unbeaten, but Oklahoma kept up pretty well. The Sooners managed 42.2 percent shooting with 32 rebounds and 16 team assists in a decent statistical game; they were simply outplayed by a good Aggies squad. 

As for Houston Baptist, it’s been tough for them to get going so far this year. The Huskies didn’t play too badly against Denver with 44.2 percent shooting and 26 boards, though. That said, I don’t think they’ll be able to keep up here for long.
