Providence vs Oklahoma Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with undefeated records on the season, but neither team has played anyone good yet. The Sooners have been the better offensive team and they are shooting over 48% from the field, while Providence is shooting just 44.9%. The Friars are allowing 53.6 points per game, but Oklahoma’s defense has also been great so far. These two teams are very evenly matched, but I think the defenses are going to take center stage. Take the under here.
