Oklahoma has won three games in a row, including a solid 74-65 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders as one-point road underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a fifth consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Sooners have all five starters averaging double figures\u2014a group that has played together in all 20 games during the 2013-14 campaign.\u00a0 It\u2019s also important to point out that the squad is shooting 42.1 percent from beyond the arc at home, something that must be considered when making your college basketball betting picks.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 10-12 ATS in January the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Sooners have won their last nine home games against the Cowboys, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college basketball odds page.\u00a0 Oklahoma leads the Big 12 in averaging 8.7 3-point makes per game, including 13 against both the Iowa State Cyclones and Texas Longhorns.\u00a0 Sophomore forward Ryan Spangler is a key player to watch in this affair, as he\u2019s averaging 12.8 points and rebounds over his last five contests.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Sooners due to the home team covering the number in four of the last five meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
