Tanner Groves leads the Sooners in scoring with 15.8 PPG along with 6.5 RPG while Umoja Gibson has 11 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Oklahoma so far this season. Jordan Goldwire has 9.3 PPG and a team-high 3.8 APG and Jalen Hill has 8.5 PPG and a team-high 7.2 RPG this season.

Oklahoma is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games overall while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a win. UCF is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games.
I get the case that could be made for both sides here as both teams come into this one with solid records and have played some solid ball this season. However, both are also experts at scoring the basketball, and I honestly don’t know how we have a total in the 130s. I think this is a game where we see at least one team in the 70s and one in the high 60s at the very least, so give me the over here.
