Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma Prediction 

Oklahoma comes into this contest looking to stay undefeated on the season, and they have some nice wins over Providence, Arizona, Louisville, and Georgia Tech. The Sooners are shooting nearly 48% from the field and they are the better defensive team in this matchup. Oklahoma State has losses against FAU and Nevada, but they do have wins over Miami and Seton Hall. The Cowboys did allow 86 and 90 points in those two losses, but I think we are going to see a lower scoring game here. Oklahoma plays very strong defense and six of the past seven meetings between these teams have been low scoring, so I like the under here.
