Oklahoma at Texas: Three things to know

Texas head coach Shaka Smart announced on Twitter Monday that he tested positive for COVID-19, and will be in isolation from the team as it plays its first game in 10 days. The previous two games – at Iowa State last Wednesday and at TCU Saturday – were postponed because of COVID-19 issues within opponents’ programs. Texas’ last outing was an 82-67 home win vs. Kansas State Jan. 16. It failed to cover as a 16.5-point favorite but rebounded from its first Big 12 loss of the season (79-77 to then-No. 15 Texas Tech Jan. 13). Junior G Andrew Jones’ 14.4 PPG leads four Longhorns in double figures.Oklahoma upset then-No. 9 Kansas 75-68 Saturday for a third win a row. The Sooners, who were 1-point home underdogs, trailed 52-51 with 9:29 to go but outscored the Jayhawks 24-16 down the stretch. Senior G Austin Reaves tallied 11 of his 16 points in the final 5:59. Sophomore G De’Vion Harmon finished with a game-high 22 points, including 4 3-pointers, and the Sooners shot 18-for-22 from the free-throw line. Reaves leads OU in points (15.2 per game), rebounds (5.1 RPG) and assists (5.2 APG).The rivals split their two meetings last season with the road teams prevailing as underdogs. Texas won at Oklahoma 52-51 in March when now-senior G Matt Coleman III banked a 3-pointer off the glass with 0.04 seconds left after OU missed two free throws. The Sooners, behind a second-half 11-2 run, claimed a 72-62 road victory Jan. 8, 2020.

Oklahoma at Texas: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Texas 70, Oklahoma 67

Money line (ML)

AVOID. Texas will improve to 5-1 in its last six home games in the series, but the -200 price is too chalky.

Messenger Betting Law

Against the spread (ATS)

OKLAHOMA +4.5 (-110) is the worth backing, getting the nod because:

Texas will miss coach Smart.Oklahoma is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games.Texas will be a bit rusty after 9 days off.Texas is 1-3 ATS in its last 4 games.

ATS: Oklahoma 8-5 Texas 6-7

Messenger Betting Nevada

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 143.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Oklahoma’s defense yields 64.7 PPG in conference games to rank second in the Big 12; Texas is fourth at 70.2 PPG.

The Sooners are also 2-8 vs. the O/U in their last 10 games. Saturday’s 75-68 victory over the Jayhawks snapped a 4-game Under streak.

The Longhorns enter on a 6-game Over run, but the Sooners’ defense will be the best they’ve faced to date. Plus, only four of the Longhorns’ last 10 games have reached 144 total combined points.

O/U records: Oklahoma 5-8 Texas 8-5
