Louisville vs Oklahoma Prediction
you can make a case for either side, as Louisville and Oklahoma have looked sharp up to this point and do similar things well. The difference for me is that Oklahoma has more bark offensively and shoots the three-ball at a much higher efficiency. In a game that could come down to the wire, I trust the team that finds easier offense and can make an extra outside shot or two to pull away. The Louisville Cardinals could have issues scoring in the half-court down the stretch. Give me the Sooners and whatever the line is.
