Texas Arlington at Oklahoma

December 17, 2013
img8:00 PM Eastern

The oddsmakers have this one pegged as a shootout, and why not as the Texas, Arlington Mavericks have produced 80 points or more six times already this season. Oklahoma, at 9-1, has produced 80+ points themselves in 8 of the 10 games, so they will welcome a running game. However, UT Arlington showed that they are not going to play into the strength of a team that has them out-manned in depth, speed, and athleticism. They displayed a willingness to slow the pace vs. Texas in a game that scored 141 total points to a total of 156. I expect them to slow things down here, or they risk getting blown out of the building. Oklahoma's opponents are taking notice, which has led to the Sooners playing to a 10-3 mark to the UNDER after scoring 90+. They are also 5-1 to the UNDER after scoring 100+ too. This game doesn't get there, so take the UNDER.
