These teams are evenly matched in nearly every one of the major statistical categories. Oregon has signature wins over five ranked teams: Arizona, Utah (three times), USC (twice), Baylor, and Duke. Oklahoma has signature wins over six ranked teams: Baylor (twice), West Virginia (twice), Texas, Iowa State, Villanova, and Texas A&M. This is truly a toss-up game but I’m taking Oklahoma because they have the best player on the floor.
