Louisville vs. Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 74, Louisville 70
Moneyline
BET OKLAHOMA (+145).
The Sooners have been the more consistent side this season and are worthy of a play to come out on top. They shot 41% from deep against Arizona and are averaging 80.5 points per game in the tournament. They are 1-0 straight up and ATS as an underdog this season.
Louisville is 1-1 ATS as a favorite of 5 points or less. It was saved against West Virginia because it was able to get to the line, having 21 more free throws. The Cardinals won despite shooting 25% from deep.
Back the side shooting better coming into the championship and play OKLAHOMA (+145).
Against the spread
PASS.
There’s no great reason to take the spread over the moneyline for the Sooners here. The games have been close, for the most part, but the value is better for the underdog to win outright.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 150.5 (-110).
While the Sooners have been consistent in their scoring, the Cardinals have a stout defense, allowing more than 70 points just once this season, and that was to top-10 Tennessee. They are 1-5 O/U on the season.
Oklahoma has allowed 64 or fewer points in 4 of its 6 games, so it should be able to defend at a high level as well. Back UNDER 150.5 (-110).
