Igor needs to be that 3rd regular scoring option to take pressure off of ZZ and Chaz. This is a completely different team when he is on. Also, our other big men don't have Igor's skill set on offense. This team has a shot of making a deep run if he is consistently flirting with a double double.Yep him, Felix and Cade should have big games.
OU has 3 bigs
Godwin 6'9"
Wague 6'10"
Northweather 6'11"
But none of them are averaging more than 6 ppg or 6 rpg.
At Auburn wasn’t a good offensive showing no doubt, but they made the #1 teams life hell and only lost by 2 at the end in a nailbiter. This team can be unbeatable when they’re firing on all cylinders. They can also shat the bed, but I think with the right lineup and gameplay/adjustments in situations, they can go far. We’ll see, but I think they take care of Okie on the road. Give me the Vols and the points.3-3 in true road games and really Florida and Auburn were the worst showings.
We didn't shoot great at Illinois, but was far better than against Gators/Tigers and we won that one.
They have one of the worst defensive ratings in the SEC and their offensive rating is basically the same as ours.
Of our 19 wins only 3 were by 4 points or less (at Illinois, at Texas & vs Missouri). But in our 6 road games only 2 were blow outs. Loss at Florida (30 points) and win at Louisville (22 points)
So I'm saying the safer bet is to expect it to be a close game even with a win.
It really depends on whether Fears can play.It's an SEC road game for us, so I wouldn't bet it at all. Who knows what offense shows up for us.
I said in the Flordia game to take TN and the moneyline because the odds of us losing two in a row at home weren't likely (granted that was before they said Igor was necessarily out). We ended up covering so taking TN was probably the better bet regardless.
This game the moneyline line for TN is +235.
I think that's a little risky for me as far as payoff. The spread is 5.5 and I don't like that either.
If I had to bet I'd take Oklahoma and the points.
Their two home losses this year were less than 4.
We win it's probably just by 3-4.
