What to Know

The #5 Baylor Bears are 9-3 against the Oklahoma Sooners since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. The Bears and Oklahoma will face off in a Big 12 battle at 3 p.m. ET at Lloyd Noble Center. Baylor will be strutting in after a victory while Oklahoma will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Baylor was able to grind out a solid win over the West Virginia Mountaineers on Tuesday, winning 77-68. Baylor relied on the efforts of guard Matthew Mayer, who shot 5-for-8 from downtown and finished with 20 points, and guard LJ Cryer, who shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 25 points.

Meanwhile, the Sooners were close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 67-64 to the Kansas Jayhawks. Forward Tanner Groves had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only eight points on 4-for-13 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.

The Bears are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 3-1 ATS in away games but only 10-7-1 all in all.

Baylor is now 16-2 while Oklahoma sits at 12-6. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Baylor comes into the matchup boasting the 25th most points per game in college basketball at 79.7. Oklahoma has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they enter the game with a 49.50% field goal percentage, good for 11th best in college basketball.
