The current betting odds have Missouri listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Missouri has looked really good in their games this season with their 17-6 record overall and their 6-4 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They have looked great on their home court this year with their 15-1 home record too. Meanwhile, Oklahoma has looked good in their games this season with their 16-7 record overall, but their 3-7 conference record has them in the bottom half of the SEC. They have struggled a lot in conference play this year with all of their losses coming against SEC opponents, and they have also been a terrible road team with their 1-4 road record. They haven't looked good lately as they are 2-3 in their last 5 games and coming off a bad home loss to Tennessee in their last one. Missouri has also been struggling lately as they are also 2-3 in their last 5 games and coming off a home loss to Texas A&M in their last one, but that was a really tight loss and it was also their first home loss all season. They are going to be looking to bounce back here with a better performance and they can take advantage of this Oklahoma team that has not only been terrible on the road this season, but also hasn't been able to compete with the stronger SEC teams. The best way to place a bet here is on Missouri to cover the spread in this game.

"Well, I thought what we were doing earlier in the year that we're not doing right now is emotionally and physically fighting through hard times in a game. I thought over and over some, as we talked about, we had resiliency fighting through some of these games, early games. And I think these last two, especially these last two, and I'm not talking about fighting through No. 60 in the country — the No. 1 (Auburn) and the previous No. 1 (Tennessee). But when things have gotten hard emotionally as much as physically, they were knocking down shots. I think they made their first five. And I don't think emotionally we handled that.” - Porter Moser after his team’s loss against Tennessee in their last game. 

“I knew he was going to shoot the ball. I think everybody in the gym knew that. If it was up to me, I would do the same lineup that was out there defensively.” - Dennis Gates after his team’s loss against Texas A&M in their last game.
