CBB - UTEP vs. Oklahoma - 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 Bet: #711 UTEP +3
I think the oddsmakers set this line to entice public action based solely on the name recognition of the Oklahoma program. I don't think the Sooners should be favored, and I truly expect UTEP to win this game outright. Both sets of power ratings I use have UTEP as the better team. I looked in-depth at many stats for both teams and see UTEP is ranked 48th among 347 Division 1 teams in defensive efficiency, while Oklahoma ranks 201st. To make a long story short, UTEP owns edges in practically every statistical category with the exception of free-throw shooting. I also like UTEP's height advantage in this matchup (UTEP owns an effective height rating of +3.2, as compared to +0.8 for the Sooners), and they should control the boards in this one. I see a 5-point outright win for the Miners. Take the points with UTEP.
Dwayne Bryant, Stan Sharp, Larry Ness?? anyone?!?
