Default Isnt Oklahoma in a letdown spot??

They beat a ranked opponent as an underdog. Texas #10

Looks like a "Standard Issue FADE" situation.

Texas Tech +6 looks like a play.

Thoughts?

Could be, but OKL is a dangerous team to both back and fade. Something's not quite right with that team.

I was thinking about Tech. But they are just horrible on the road to say the least.

Was not Kansas St. in the same situation after beating TX earlier in the season?

They laid an egg against Okla S.t in their next game.

Oklahoma is feeling good right now. Mason-Griffin is leading that team and once Warren is completely healthy they'll be dangerous.

I would be careful of playing Tech here. Especially since OU lost to Tech by 10 earlier. OU wants revenge and is feeling good.

Oklahoma is anything but dangerous.....I was so high on them to stay good after blake left but its just not going to happen. Willie Warren has a TERRIBLE attitude.

Add Garbage shot selection to that, and you get a gunner who keeps both teams in the game.

________________________________
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma freshmen basketball players Andrew Fitzgerald and Steven Pledger were cited for shoplifting at a department store in Norman, just hours after the Sooners upset Texas on Saturday.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer Newell says the players were ticketed for petty larceny and released.
Newell said Monday the citation was written by a security officer in Dillard's. She says according to the ticket, the security officer reported seeing Fitzgerald and Pledger concealing shirts inside a blue plastic bag.
Pledger scored nine points in Oklahoma's 80-71 upset victory over Texas. He averages 6.5 points per game. Fitzgerald averages 3.7 points per game.
Any discipline will be handled internally, team spokesman Mike Houck said.

I don't know if I could my money on Oklahoma at -6 against anyone, but letdown? Not necessarily. Tech is one of those teams that can't win on the road. And they typically get blown out in the process.

Oklahoma is 11-0 at home this year and 1-6 on the road...all 4 of their big 12 wins are at home by 5 points or more...originally I liked TTech, but these numbers scare me...might tease TTech or stay away all together...

If OK was going on the road, I would agree OK is in letdown... but at home, after big win, they might feed off the win and the crowd and cover the 6 points. They could still let down, but I like a let down after a big win when a team goes on the road and plays a lesser foe... like GT tonite, at Providence, more likely to let down IMO. Though GT may have learned after beating Duke then lost to SF.

Oklahoma 4-0 ATS at home to conference opponents, Texas Tech 1-3 ATS away to conference opponents. Taking Oklahoma here, but I don't see a blowout.

OU is such a weird team to predict how they will play. Get killed on the road to last place Nebraska then come back and beat Texas, even tho UT doesnt look that great right now. Im leaning very very slightly toward TTU plus the 6, even tho TTU is terrible on the road in conference
