Predict the Score: OU vs Villanova

[Max Power]

Toughest test thus far for our top 10 team.

What say you guys?

Not feeling real hot about this one but, hey, it's a guards game and we've got 3 really good ones with experience.

I'm leaning on that.

OU 73
Nova 70

Both teams pride themselves on defense. I say 67-65 OU. I don't think Buddy is 100% because he is wearing that brace on his right wrist.... maybe 90%. It bothered him against UCA. I think the game goes down to the wire.

Vegas has the over/under at 143 and Villanova is a 3.5-4 point favorite.

OU as a 4 point dog is a tempting bet. The under is also a tempting bet. I won't name a score, but if this game goes to overtime it wouldn't surprise me. In my mind, it's a final four preview, and I'm surprised the line is so high.

I'll probably get creamed for this, but I'm saying 75-71 Nova. They're really good. I think we'll be there by March once Kruger gets a better feel for his rotations, but I'm guessing he coaches this game a little differently from how he would coach it in March. (This is absolutely fine with me, btw.)

Maybe I'm just projecting my attitude onto him, however. I'm OK with losing this game closely as long as we learn from it and improve for the games that really matter.

Boy was I way off, I'm proud to say.
