Raymond-
You call Oklahoma your best bet. Just wondering what you heard and what you reasoning is for them to cover this road game when they have struggled mightily on the road in recent days while baylor has been solid at home all year. I just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing something because Im planning on taking the bears all the way.

DATE & TIME: Tuesday, February 19th, 8:00 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Ferrell Center (10,284) -- Waco, Texas. Television: Local. Home Record: Oklahoma 14-0, Baylor 12-2. Away Record: Oklahoma 5-4, Baylor 0-8. Neutral Record: Oklahoma 1-0, Baylor 2-1. Conference Record: Oklahoma 9-3, Baylor 4-8. Series Record: Oklahoma leads, 20-5.
GAME NOTES: Trailing the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks by three games with four to play, the hopes for a Big 12 regular season title have all but disappeared for the Oklahoma Sooners, who now must focus their attention on finishing the year strong and heading into the postseason with a full head of steam. The sixth-ranked Sooners began moving in that direction over the weekend, with a 73-62 win over Kansas State. The victory was the fifth in the last six games for Kelvin Sampson's team, which goes on the road on Tuesday, to take on the Baylor Bears. Dave Bliss' charges have made positive strides this season, despite their subpar conference record. Still, a young team with a great deal of potential, Baylor would like nothing better than to end the year with a few wins. The Bears return home after a tough road trip that saw the team get routed at Texas Tech (90-65) and most recently at Kansas (87-72). Oklahoma has owned this series, winning 20 of the 25 all-time meetings, including 15 straight. Earlier this year, the Sooners recorded a 13-point win in Norman (70-57). Baylor's last win in this series came back in the 1977-78 season.
With Saturday's win over Kansas State, Oklahoma has now won 20 or more games in five straight seasons. One of the most balanced teams in the country this year, the Sooners are getting it done at both ends of the court. The team has more than enough offensive weapons to win a shootout (79.1 ppg), but also plays the kind of stingy defense that can have opponents scratching their heads (allows just 64.5 ppg). Senior forward Aaron McGhee is making a strong push for all-conference honors as the season winds down. The 6-8, 250-pounder has recorded four double-doubles in the last six games and is averaging 19.7 points and 9.1 rebounds over the last seven outings, overall. On the year, McGhee is second on the team in scoring (15.0 ppg), while pacing the Sooners on the boards (7.2 rpg). Plenty of scoring support comes from the perimeter in the form of junior guards Hollis Price, Ebi Ere and Jason Detrick. Price is the backcourt leader posting a team-best 16.5 ppg. However, he has hit a wall of late and is netting just 8.8 ppg over his last four outings. Before that, he was averaging 23.3 ppg over the four previous games. Ere, the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year, nets 14.6 ppg and ranks third on the team in rebounding at 5.7 rpg. Detrick is earning starting time now and has come on of late, chipping in 10.6 ppg.
An extremely young unit, the Bears have suffered through growing pains this season. Still, there is reason for optimism in Waco these days, as Baylor is heading in the right direction. The team has just one senior in a starting lineup that boasts two freshmen, a sophomore and a junior. One of the top freshmen in the nation this season, 6-8 Lawrence Roberts has burst on the scene in the Big 12, leading the Bears in both scoring (16.5 ppg), rebounding (8.1 rpg) and blocks (1.4 bpg). Adding to the frontcourt muscle for the Bears is senior forward Greg Davis, who isn't much of a scorer (7.7 ppg), but does give the team another aggressive body in the low post (6.1 rpg, 1.3 bpg). With that pair creating problems inside, the backcourt tandem of junior Wendell Greenleaf and freshman John Lucas, gets unabated looks at the basket. They have made opponents pay for that for the most part this year, with Greenleaf pouring in 13.5 ppg, followed closely by Lucas' 12.8. Greenleaf and Lucas have both flourished from behind the arc this season, with Greenleaf leading the team with 57 treys, followed by Lucas, who has knocked down 47 of his attempts. The duo are both adequate distributors as well, combining for almost eight assists per game (7.6).
Baylor has been solid at home and horrific on the road. With this game being played in Waco, the Bears may be able to keep things close for awhile. Still, Oklahoma is still in a fight for a two-seed in the upcoming conference tourney and has been good enough on the road this year, to escape the Ferrell Center with a win.

IMO, that article was written by a college basketball fan for other fans to read. It wasnt a handicapper writing for sports bettors. Alot of good insight and info in that article but you can't make or change bets on what that guy thinks.

Just my two cents as a Sooner Fan who has attended several games.
This team has a nasty habit of giving up big leads in the last 5 minutes and holding on for dear life. They have not covered the spread in there last 7 games and have covered only once on the road in conference play (Nebraska). If the real Sooners show up they can cover but this is a no play for this Sooner fan.
I hope you are right though. GL

baylor was winless ats vs. OU at OU til a couple weeks ago......
OU 0-7 ats last 7
baylor 5-1 ats last 6
trends from years ago when Harry Miller was coaching have little bearance on this game.....
OU could cover, but they would have to play better than they have in their last 7 games and Baylor would have to play worse than they have in their last 6......OU's legs are tired cuz Sampson runs those Juco kids into the ground and they are not used to it.......
