They return several pieces from a team that won 20 games last season. They will be lead by Ottey who averaged 14 ppg last season. Their returning PG lead the league in assists.

I personally believe that this Oklahoma team shouldn't have made the tournament. The committee really messed up with this one but to no surprise they weren't gonna make Trae Young play in the NIT even though OU faltered big time down the stretch and doesn't deserve this. Rhode Island is no joke here and they got shafted on their seed IMO. I think they play with a big chip on their shoulder here and win fairly easily.

I like the Sun Devils here tonight to beat Cuse. I'm not exactly sure how Cus got into the tournament, but for me the talent level lies with ASU. I know ASU has really struggled down the stretch here, but 4 of their 5 losses were by single digits. They have the outside shooting which will help them a lot against the zone Cuse always plays.
