Oklahoma/Rhode Island over Oklahoma is a popular pick to go one-and-done in the NCAA Tournament because of its rough conclusion to the season. The Sooners lost eight of their last 10 games of the season to drop to 18-13. They barely squeezed into the field, and many analysts and fans alike were surprised that they made it in over In-State rival Oklahoma State. But the Sooners' elite offense, led by likely NBA lottery pick Trae Young (27.4 points per game), will make Oklahoma a tougher out than many are predicting. OU averages 85.2 points, tied for fourth in the nation, and will challenge a Rhode Island defense that gave up 87 points to Saint Joseph's in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. Over is 9-2 in Sooners last 11 non-conference games and is 5-1 in Sooners last 6 neutral site games.

This will be a defensive battle and I expect both teams to come out a little tight. The Under is 11-2 in the last 13 meetings. I see value in wagering under this total.
