Point Spread: -14.50 | -116.00 Oklahoma (Home)
Result: Loss
Bakersfield is a great story, no doubt about it. But in truth, it's tough for me to make a case they can compete for 40 minutes here. The Roadrunners simply don't have anything on their season resume that indicates to me they can hang with a legit powerhouse on the road. Cal St Bakersfield #326 ranked schedule of the 351 Division 1 teams. When you look at how the Roadrunners did versus teams from a major conference the list is small and in fact it is only one team – Arizona St and they lost by 16 points. When you look at the Mid Majors they faced they played Fresno St and allowed 54.2% shooting and when they went to St Mary's they allowed 61.4%. When you play on a double favorite in the first round you need to make sure your team needs a feel good win and that is the Sooners wont let off the gas here this afternoon.
