College Basketball Betting Trends

West Virginia

The Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last five Wednesday games. West Virginia is 0-6 ATS in its last six neutral site games.

Oklahoma

The Sooners are 5-2 ATS in their last seven Wednesday games. Oklahoma is 19-9-3 ATS in its last 31 games overall.

Prediction:

Oklahoma is another team on the bubble as the Big 12 Tournament starts and is in a must-win situation today versus a Mountaineers squad that is outside the top 100 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. The Sooners have been very good defensively this season and are 3-1 straight up this season in neutral court games against all better opponents than West Virginia. I don't see a letdown happening today.
