After playing their best offensive game of the season and having late chances to win, Baylor (12-10, 2-7) fell to Oklahoma 98-96. Baylor returns to the court on Saturday against Iowa State.
The Bears gave Oklahoma a new look early. Jake Lindsey started in place of King McClure, and the Bears hard hedged all ball screens. Baylor built an early lead, but the Sooner’s offense was incredible. Trae Young, likely the best player in the country, was amazing. He drilled a three with Tyson Jolly’s hand in his face. He made more shots and drew fouls. Maybe some went Oklahoma’s way.
