5 Grizzlies most likely out and not even going to the arena tonight. Plans are to send them back to Memphis on separate flight. Memphis might have just 8 dressed tonight although they are working on getting 1 or 2 more on short term contract. This is the reason for the line move.

Wednesday’s College Basketball Plays
5-Unit Play. #529 Take Oklahoma (-4.5) over Creighton (8 p.m., Wednesday, November 19)
Here is an early season meeting from two power conference schools, however I see these two squads on opposite ends of the spectrum. OU is a team with four returning starters who helped the school win 23 games in 2013. Creighton, as much as they have accomplished the past few years with their now graduated class, only have one starter back and are in a transition season. They no longer can rely on All-American Doug Mcdermott as well as a few other known commodities. Last season Oklahoma averaged 81.9 points per game, and the team’s up-tempo style really benefited them as they changed a team approach. Creighton last year would have been able to make this an up-and-down game. However minus their graduated leaders and proven talents, I think this is a one-sided game, even with OU being on the road. Traveling to Omaha makes this a short road trip, so this is a good spot for the Sooners away from Norman. Had this line favored Creighton as an unranked team over the ranked Sooners, that would be a red flag. But linesmakers have justly made Oklahoma chalk here. Lon Kruger’s program comes up with a quality performance and a double digit victory.
