Oklahoma (20-6) at Texas (24-5) Sunday, 4 p.m. Eastern, CBS The Red River Rivalry bubbles up again Sunday afternoon when the Oklahoma Sooners travel to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns in the regular season finale for both teams.
The Sooners have beaten the Longhorns three straight times, including an 82-72 decision in January in Norman as three-point home dogs. In that match-up between two of the top four rebounding teams in Division 1, Oklahoma won the battle on the boards by a 35-30 margin and shot 31 of 57 from the floor against Texas' third-ranked field goal defense.
Oklahoma, unbelievably, has won four games in a row by one point after Monday's 67-66 victory over Oklahoma State. But when you're always favored, winning by one doesn't cover the spread. And the Sooners are 0-5 ats in their last five games.
Just in Big 12 play this season, Oklahoma has won five games by one point. But they've also lost two games by one point and another by two points.
Meanwhile, Texas is outscoring opponents by 17 points per game.
Texas is 2-2 in its last four games, including a 46-43 defeat at Texas A&M Wednesday as a six-point road favorite. After going 27 of 49 from the floor against Kansas' top-ranked field goal defense Saturday, the Longhorns shot just 13 of 38 against the Aggies.
Texas is tied with Kansas for first place in the Big 12 at 12-3. Oklahoma is in third place, one game back. Both teams have clinched first-round byes in the conference tournament, which starts Thursday in Dallas.
The Sooners are a costly 8-13 against the spread this season; 4-6 ats on the road, 7-8 ats in the Big 12 but 3-1 ats as an underdog.
Texas is 12-11 against the spread this season; 6-4 ats at home, 8-7 ats in the conference and 11-10 ats as chalk.
The over is 13-8 in Sooner games this season, but 9-14 in Longhorn games.
