Spotless Teams Meet as Oklahoma Sooners Host UAB Blazers

The UAB Blazers (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS, 1-3 O/U) and Oklahoma Sooners (4-0 SU, 1-1 ATS, 2-0 O/U) have ach gotten off to solid 4-0 starts in the BetUS Sportsbook. Tonight, NBA sports betting enthusiasts and the fans at Madison Square Garden will see one team’s winning streak come to halt.

UAB ran past Old Dominion 77-62 on Saturday, to cover the spread as a 2-point road underdog as senior shooting guard Robert Vaden tossed in a game-high 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting and senior forward Lawrence Kinnard chipped in with 17 points.

Oklahoma is coming off a closer-than-expected 80-76 win Over Gardner-Webb on Saturday as National Player of the Year candidate Blake Griffin scored a game-high 35 points on 14-for-20 shooting.

“I feel very fortunate to get this win,” coach Jeff Capel said. “Gardner-Webb was tremendous. I felt they played with a sense of urgency. They played like a team that was desperate and hungry for a win. … We played like a team that just thought we had to show up.

NCAAB Odds

UAB +3½ -110
Oklahoma -3½ -110

Analysis: I like the UAB Blazers to cover the spread in this matchup as they have had a more credible 4-0 start, with road wins over Arizona and ODU. Don’t be surprised if Blake Griffin goes off with another monster game, but the Blazers walk away with the win.
