4-0 vs. 2-10 ... Gimme 4-0 PLZ!

Las Vegas - Porter Moser. Sound familiar? If you remember, he had a great run with Loyola-Chicago guiding the Ramblers to a stunning Final Four appearance back in 2017-18. Moser has been working in Norman since 2021-22 and has had only one losing season. This year's Oklahoma squad has had more ups and downs than a Duncan yo-yo. The Sooners opened the season winning 11 of their first 14 games and then they fell into a deep dark black hole. The Okies lost nine in a row, including an 85-76 L at South Carolina. Not sure what Porter told his kids, but on February 7, they beat Vanderbilt, followed by a W against Georgia. After losing to Auburn and Tennessee, Oklahoma closed the regular season on a gorgeous 4-0 run with wins over Auburn, LSU, Missouri and Texas. On the other bench, the Gamecocks have been ugly down the stretch, losing 10 of their last 12. Not thrilled laying seven and a hook so we'll just tap the Sooners on the money line.
