Result:
LOSS

Oklahoma and Baylor are a pair of good teams that are both coming in off losses earlier in the week. Their intensity level here should be high, as each tries to bounce back. The Baylor emphasis will be getting the ball inside to Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin. The pair was held to 12 points against Texas Tech, and they certainly bring a lot more to the table than that. Their presence should also help neutralize Oklahoma's Ryan Spangler who has 37 points and 29 boards in his last two games. I think the physicality inside will be instrumental in the outcome, and Baylor has more of an upside in the paint. Throw in the fact that the Bears are a tough out here in Waco where they have run the table at 9-0. They are also on a 13-game winning streak for the second longest in their history. Oklahoma dominated this series up until recently as the improved Bears have taken three of the last four at home. I think the physicality inside, and the intensity of the game, with both off losses, will keep the anticipated track meet from getting legs. Baylor has a huge edge at home, and a few more contributing bodies inside to get the job done. Play on Baylor, and take the UNDER in this one.
