Louisville's defensive intensity against Indiana and West Virginia to start the Battle 4 Atlantis was elevated, but this was an area where they struggled over the first half of play. They allowed Oklahoma to got 7-of-14 from deep, shoot 12-of-25 percent from the field and assist on 10 of their 12 shots while only committing three turnovers.

This one has all the makings of a nail-biter, which has Rohit Ponnaiya siding with the underdog Sooners in his Louisville vs. Oklahoma predictions for Friday afternoon.

Jalon Moore matched his career high of 24 points to propel Oklahoma to a 69-64 win over Louisville and an unlikely title in the Battle 4 Atlantis on Friday in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
