SBG Global Opening Line: Louisville - 3
Connecticut will try and stay in the Big East race tonight as they travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals. Connecticut is 2-3 in the conference and has lost four of its last five. The Huskies are coming off a tough 77-73 loss to Indiana on Saturday. UConn lost to Indiana even though they outscored the Hoosiers in the paint 46-20. Stanley Robinson led the way for the Huskies with 21 points, and Jeff Adrien added 15 points while pulling down 12 rebounds. Even with the loss, early betting at SBG Global has the gambling public all over the Huskies.
Louisville has won three of its last four games and is 3-2 in the conference. The Cardinals had a very nice 59-50 win at DePaul on Saturday. Louisville only shot 37 percent against DePaul but they held the Blue Demons to 35.2 percent shooting from the field. Juan Palacios led the way in the victory with 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field. Terrence Williams added 11 points and 11 rebounds.

SBG Global Opening Line: Oklahoma State - 5
12th-ranked Oklahoma State is 11-0 at home this season but will be facing a team that beat them last year at home in Oklahoma. The Cowboys lost both games against Oklahoma last year including a 73-65 defeat at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Oklahoma has won three of the last four meetings in this series however early betting at SBG Global has the public all over Oklahoma State laying the points.
Oklahoma State has lost two of its last three games and all were against ranked teams including a 67-49 loss at Texas A&M on Saturday. The triple overtime win over Texas probably took too much out of the Cowboys. The problem for Oklahoma State is they have to come right back and play again tonight. The Cowboys shot 33.3 percent from the field and were held to a season low in points against A&M. James Curry had 20 points but Mario Boggan was held to only 11.
Oklahoma State is a 5.5 point favorite with a total of 133 at SBG Global.
The Sooners have not won yet on the road in conference play. They lost 80-69 at Texas and 68-54 at Texas Tech. The Sooners are coming off a very dominating home win though. They beat Baylor 91-51. They shot 57.6 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Bears 42-30. Nate Carter scored a season-high 22 points and had nine rebounds Saturday. "I think we've gotten better," first-year coach Jeff Capel said. "We haven't been good in what we've been trying to do all year long. They are starting to trust me more each day. It's a process in any relationship. You don't go into most relationships and just immediately trust. It has to be earned."
The Sooners are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 road games. The Sooners are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 vs. the Big 12. The Sooners are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as a road underdog. The Sooners are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Monday games.
