Spread: West Virginia -2
3-star play on West Virginia covering: If the Mountaineers want to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, they can't afford to lose this game at home. Oklahoma isn't a bad team but with the upcoming schedule WVU has, this is a critical game. The Sooners are a turnover prone team averaging over 15 turnovers per game. That's not a recipe for success when playing on the road, much less in Morgantown. Play on the Mountaineers up to -3, nothing higher.
Over/Under: 129.5
1-star play on the over: As you can tell by my record on the season below, I haven't been on point with totals this year. That said there have been two to three games that I've lost by a half a point, one, or two points. We just need some to start going our way. Although I see this being a defensive fist fight, I would lean to the over. The over has cashed in six of the last seven West Virginia games and for two teams that average about 70 points per game, I don't want to even look at the under.
