Complimentary Selection
Sport: College Basketball
Game: Oklahoma State @ Oklahoma on Feb 19 2003 9:00PM
Prediction: Oklahoma
Reason: The Oklahoma Sooners are seething with revenge after a very controversial loss in Stllwater to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. They'll get it too. The 17th ranked Sooners host the 16th ranked Cowboys tonight looking for a bit of revenge while they shoot to extend the nations longest home winning streak (34). They've won 71 of 96 encounters with the Cowboys here in Norman including 3 of the last 4 in this series. In fact, the Lloyd Noble Center has hosted 34 consecutive Oklahoma wins including last seasons perfect 16-0 and this season perfect 12-0. Since the building opened 27 years ago, the Sooners have won 86% of their games under it's roof and 88% (116-16) under coach Kelvin Samson. Not only does Oklahoma get the revenge game in the friendly confines, but they are also at the top of their game. They are shooting just shy of 50% from the field over their last 6 games. They are shooting an amazing 43% from downtown in league play led by Quannas White (12-for-17 over the last 4 games) and Hollis Price (17-of-34 over the past 5 games). In fact, the Sooners have been dominating the Big 12, winning 17 of their last 19 Big 12 outings and "should have" been 18-1 but for the bum-job in Stillwater. Revenge, current form and venue combine tonight for yet another Oklahoma rout. Expect the Sooners to be firing on all cylanders - and this time, holding the Cowboys to fewer than 50 points will result in a landslide win in Norman. Take the Sooners.
