The Oklahoma Sooners may be a win away from the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. As one-bucket underdogs against the Texas A&M Aggies, the opportunity is certainly there.

My Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M predictions and college basketball picks aren't quite putting faith in the Sooners, but they do expect entertainment on Thursday, March 12.

Oklahoma vs Texas A&M best bet

Oklahoma vs Texas A&M best bet: Over 159.5 (-110)

Both the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas A&M Aggies thrive from long distance. Oklahoma takes 3-pointers at the fourth-highest rate in the SEC while making them 38.7% of the time in conference play, tops in the toughest league in the country.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M shoots 3-pointers at the second-highest rate in the SEC while making them 35.3% of the time, a middling percentage but one that should tick upward against the Sooners.

The sheer volume of 3-pointers should make for an entertaining and high-scoring finale to the SEC Tournament’s second round.

While Texas A&M should take a bounty of 3-pointers, and the Oklahoma defense is only middling in limiting the quality of those looks, Pop Isaacs has been in a mild slump. In his last four games, he has shot just 5 of 16 from deep.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
