Who do you got in this one?

BT's pick:

OU 67
OSU 61

Boom Soon.
 
We have beat junior 11 of the past 12 games in Norman with the lone loss coming in 2004. That's right the 13-18 Sooners beat them, the Nick Thompson Sooners beat them & the Carl Blair Sooners beat them.

Please don't ever say "The Nick Thompson Sooners." Please.
 
Sooners will win, but the score won't be as quite as close as some are predicting. OU will lead by at least 16 in the second half, but eventually settle for a 10-point win:

OU 70
OSU 60
 
My Heart says:
OU- 67
OSU-55

But my Head says:
OSU-67
OU-65

Regardless of the outcome your heart is smarter than your head. OU historically wins about 80% at home against OSU. As Boca states OU has done even better the last 10 years, including some bad OU teams. Statistically the teams are pretty evenly matched. OU has a clear advantage in the paint. Picking OSU could be correct but it is not a good pick.

OU 75
OSU 63
 
I like OSU's team (except for bigs). I never know what to expect from OU but for some reason I think OU will be better in the fourth quarter.

OU 76
OSU 70
 
As far as the game goes, I hope we start in zone defensively and are able to drive and attack offensively. I think establishing Osby and MBaye in the post early is important and we should be able get their bigs in foul trouble. The foul trouble and the zone, assuming it is effective, should force Ford to go small to try and shoot us into man to man. I think we match really well with everyone they have outside of Smart. I see a tight game at half opening up in the second as we have a parade at the free throw, as Bedlam games in LNC usually become and win by 10-12, something like 70-58.
 
The Aggies have some good athletes and they try to play defense. OU can win this one. But, I think it will be a low scoring grinder. Good guys 60-56.
 
OSU will lead from start to finish. We will struggle to score. Hope I'm wrong. I'll be there. But I was there up close and personal when Tony Allen and company dunked all over us in Norman one of Kelvin's last few years and this has that feel.

OSU 67
OU 58
 
If it were possible to win by a fraction of a point, I'd take it. That said:

OSU 68
OU 61

We don't know how to play zone.
