Regular Season Records: Oklahoma 17-14; Baylor 26-5

What to Know

The #3 Baylor Bears are 10-3 against the Oklahoma Sooners since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. The Bears and Oklahoma are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 10 at T-Mobile Center in the second round of the Big 12 Conference Tourney. Baylor is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory.

Baylor beat the Iowa State Cyclones 75-68 on Saturday. Baylor's success was spearheaded by the efforts of guard James Akinjo, who had 20 points and six assists, and guard Kendall Brown, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma picked up a 78-71 win over the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday. Oklahoma's guard Umoja Gibson was one of the most active players for the squad, shooting 7-for-12 from downtown and finishing with 29 points.

Two stats to keep an eye on: The Bears enter the matchup with 8.7 steals per game on average, good for 24th best in college basketball. Less enviably, the Sooners have allowed their opponents an average of 7.8 steals per game, the 11th most in college basketball. In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
