Why Oklahoma Will Win

The Sooner defense continues to be terrific from three. It’s keeping teams to under 29%.

Mizzou doesn’t live from the outside, but it’s a far better team when it’s hitting the three. It’s 10-0 when connecting on more than 40% from three, and 14-1 when hitting at least 31%.

Tennessee is the only team in the last 14 games to get to 40% from the outside on the Sooners, but …

Why Missouri Will Win

Oklahoma can’t rebound.
