Online Sports Betting – Number High For Aggies At Home To Oklahoma
February 23, 2011
College basketball online sports betting cappers know that the No. 17 Texas A&M Aggies have rebounded from three straight losses to win four in a row against some of the weaker teams from the Big 12, a run that head coach Mark Turgeon is hoping his team can continue at home against the Oklahoma Sooners on Wednesday night.
Turgeon understands that it’s unlikely his boys will be able to close on either Texas or Kansas at the top of the conference, but is comfortable with where his team is at right now.

Oklahoma Sooners @ Texas A&M Aggies
Wednesday February 23rd – 7:30 PM ET
Reed Arena, College Station, Texas
Television: ESPN3
College Basketball Online Sports Betting Odds: Texas A&M -12.5
The Aggies have beaten Oklahoma in five straight contests, and could run the Sooners’ losing streak to a season-high six games overall this season if they can clinch the sixth in their own series.
College Basketball Online Sports Betting: What Oklahoma Will Have To Do To Win
The Sooners will win if they can find a way to put up points, something that has really hurt them this season. Oklahoma ranks 244th in the country in points per game with an average of just 66.7, and it seems as though whenever this team’s offense gets going, the defense falters. The Sooners have lost five straight, and three of those games were against unranked teams.
College Basketball Online Sports Betting: What Texas A&M Will Have To Do To Win
Texas A&M will win if they continue to stay level. While the Aggies had won 25 straight home games against unranked opponents before falling to the Baylor Bears in overtime to open the month, the team has actually bounced back with some solid play on the road to put together four straight wins.
Three of their four straight wins have come away from College Station, a sign that Texas A&M is learning how to deal with the pressures of playing away from home. They won’t have to worry about that in this game, although given their latest results it could be another close contest.
The Aggies are 7-2 this season in games decided by five points or fewer, a sign of their ability to perform in the clutch. No player embodies that outlook more than senior guard BJ Holmes, who has made a big shots in each of the team’s latest four wins.
College Basketball Outlook & Online Sports Betting Pick
It won’t get any easier for the Sooners with back-to-back games against No. 17 Texas A&M and the No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks, which will be followed by games at Texas Tech and then home to rival Oklahoma State.
The Aggies have done a lot of things right during their current winning streak, including hitting a lot of the clutch shots that college basketball teams rely on to have a successful season. Still, 13 points is a lot for a team that hasn’t blown away many opponents this year. Texas A&M will win, but the Sooners should keep this one close.
College Basketball Online Sports Betting Pick: Oklahoma +12.5
