This is an inexperinced Mountaineers team that may use this tournament to get seasoning for next season. After splitting the regular season with Lon Kruger's team, they won't catch the Sooners off guard in this one.
Oklahoma is 19-9-3 ATS in their last 31 games.
Sooners too athletic as they control the paint and boards.

I'm not buying into the Raiders "Turnaround" even though they've won 8 of 14 games after starting the season 3-14. 5 of those wins came against teams that didn't qualify for the conference tournament.

The Spartans concluded their regular season with an incredible 15-3 record in the Southern Conference as they take on Wofford, the only team to better that mark (18-0). They've won 8 of 10 to get to the conference final so taking the 7.5 with a legit chance to win the game outright is attractive. Greensboro is on a 20-7-1 AS streak against teams with a win percentage of .600 or more. They'll force enough turnovers to keep this one in doubt until the end.
