Cal State Bakersfield vs. Oklahoma

Oklahoma likes to run and is a big favorite, but who is going to control the tempo? Don't expect Cal State Bakersfield to get into an up-tempo game, as the Roadrunners are #14 in the nation in scoring defense (63.2 ppg), on an 8-2 run UNDER the total, plus 8-2 UNDER at neutral sites. Cal State Bakersfield has very good balance along with that great defense with four players in double-digit scoring in seniors 6-9 Aly Ahmed (12.9 ppg) and Kevin Mays (12.5 ppg, 8 rpg), plus a strong backcourt of Dedrick Basile (12 ppg) and 6-4 Damiyne Durham (11.8 ppg). The Roadrunners have won five straight and nine and 10, along with a 13-3 spread run, including 10-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Oklahoma plays excellent defense, as well, a 10-1 run UNDER the total and 19-7 UNDER at neutral sites. The Sooners are 5-16 ATS against a team with a winning straight up record, so look for a close, defensive duel. Take Cal State Bakersfield and the UNDER.
