Play: Oklahoma +2 -110
Time: 10:07 p.m. ET
TV: TBS
Reasoning: How comfortable are the Sooners starters with one another? Well, all five have started every game this season and they are one of only seven teams to do that. Oklahoma has played the third-toughest schedule and is 7-6 vs. Top 25 squads. Michigan State is 4-5 vs. the Top 25. The Sooners are better in every defensive stat and are sixth-best in the nation in defensive efficiency. The Spartans rank 46. Michigan State, which is undersized for this matchup, is great at rebounding, but Oklahoma can hang. The Sooners have outrebounded opponents by eight per game over their last five. Michigan State's glaring weakness is its free-throw shooting. It hits just 63% from the line (59.6% in its two NCAA Tournament tilts). That's not good, especially when compared to Oklahoma's 73.8% figure. The Sooners attempt and make more foul shots and have canned 81.1% of them in their last five contests.
Record: 318-246-11 (56.4%)
