Sooners Squeeze Past Marquette On The Road
Oklahoma’s last outing was a 75-74 win over Marquette on November 28, a game that came down to the final possession. The Sooners leaned on guard Nijel Pack, who scored 24 points and hit five threes, while Tae Davis added 19 points and 11 boards. Oklahoma shot 48% from the field and turned the ball over just six times in the contest, which allowed them to hold off Marquette late. The win pushed them to 5-2 and extended their winning streak to three.
This Sooners team has been built around offensive efficiency. They average 86.6 points per game (111th nationally) while shooting 47.1% from the field (115th) and 34.5% from three (148th). Pack has been the star, putting up 19.3 points per game while shooting an incredible 50.8% from deep and a perfect 100% at the line. Forward Tae Davis adds balance with 13 points and 8 rebounds per game, while Mohamed Wague provides interior toughness at nearly 7 rebounds per game. Oklahoma’s free-throw shooting is solid (75.9%, 59th), and while they don’t dominate the glass (33.7 rebounds per game, 220th), their guard play keeps them competitive.
Defensively, the Sooners allow 74.6 points per game (161st) and opponents shoot 43.6% (189th). Their biggest weakness has been defending the perimeter, where opponents hit 36.4% from three (312th). Oklahoma does force turnovers with active guards like Brown and Davis, but their rebounding defense (31.9 per game, 172nd) leaves them vulnerable against bigger teams. Heading into Winston-Salem, the Sooners will need Pack’s shooting and Davis’ rebounding to offset Wake Forest’s size and balanced scoring.
Wake Tames The Huskies At Home
Wake Forest’s most recent game was an 86-73 win over Northeastern on November 28, where Tre'Von Spillers led the way with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Juke Harris added 17 points, while the Demon Deacons shot 55% from the field and controlled the glass. Wake pulled away in the second half, improving to 6-2 and staying unbeaten at home.
Offensively, Wake Forest has been strong, averaging 87.5 points per game (97th nationally) while shooting 46.1% from the field (163rd) and 33.8% from three (180th). Harris has been their go-to scorer, putting up 19.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, while Spillers adds 15 points and 6.5 rebounds with efficient finishing inside. Myles Colvin chips in 12.5 points per game and gives them another perimeter threat. The Demon Deacons are reliable at the line (73.6%, 122nd) and rebound well (36.1 per game, 125th), which helps them sustain possessions and control tempo.
Defensively, Wake has been one of the better units in the ACC, allowing just 72 points per game (118th) and holding opponents to 41% shooting (100th). Their perimeter defense has been excellent, limiting opponents to 28.7% from three (58th nationally), which is a major strength against an Oklahoma team that relies heavily on Pack’s outside shooting. They aren’t elite on the defensive glass (31.9 per game, 176th), but their ability to contest shots and force turnovers has kept them in control. At home, Wake Forest’s defensive pressure and balanced scoring give them a strong chance to take the second leg of this home-and-home series.

Oklahoma vs Wake Forest Spread Pick
- Oklahoma +5 (4 Units)
Oklahoma +5 looks like a strong play because the Sooners have the guard depth and offensive balance to keep this matchup tight. N. Pack has been outstanding, averaging 19.3 points per game while shooting over 50% from three, and X. Brown adds another double-digit scorer who can attack off the dribble. T. Davis has been a steady presence on the boards at 8 rebounds per game, giving Oklahoma a chance to limit Wake Forest’s second-chance looks. The Sooners are scoring 86.6 points per game on 47.1% shooting, and while they don’t dominate the glass, their ability to spread the floor and knock down free throws (75.9%) makes them dangerous in close games.
On the defensive side, Oklahoma isn’t elite, but they’ve been serviceable, holding opponents to 43.6% shooting and forcing turnovers with active guards. Wake Forest has been strong at home, but their perimeter shooting sits at just 33.8% from three, which could be a key factor against a Sooners team that can trade buckets from deep. With Pack’s efficiency, Davis’ rebounding, and Wague’s interior presence, Oklahoma has enough balance to hang around for 40 minutes. Getting +5 gives them room to cover even if Wake Forest pulls out a narrow win, making the Sooners the value side in this rematch.
Oklahoma vs Wake Forest Over/Under Pick
- Over 160 (5 Units)
The Over 160 makes sense because both Oklahoma and Wake Forest have shown they can push tempo and score in bunches. The Sooners average 86.6 points per game with N. Pack leading the way at nearly 20 points per game and shooting over 50% from three, while Wake Forest puts up 87.5 points per game behind J. Harris and T. Spillers, who combine for more than 34 points a night. Neither team is elite defensively — Oklahoma allows 74.6 points per game and struggles to defend the perimeter, while Wake gives up 72 points per game but can be beaten on the glass. With both sides featuring multiple double-digit scorers and capable of hitting from deep, this matchup sets up for a fast pace and plenty of offense, making the Over 160 the appealing play.
