Baylor vs Oklahoma Analysis
The Sooners opened 11-2 in Porter Moser’s first season, picking up a victory over K-State to start Big 12 play off right on Jan. 1.
They lost at then top-ranked Baylor in Waco a few days later to begin a stretch that has seen them go 6-12 in spite of the three-game win streak they take into Kansas City.
Sooners Rallying for At-Large Bid
Although hopes of securing an at-large bid aren’t dead, it’s going to take an upset here to help OU get on the right side of the bubble considering it enters this contest an ugly 2-11 in Quad 1 games.
Moser’s team actually fell to 14-14 in a 24-point loss at Texas Tech on Feb. 22 before rallying to post a home win over Oklahoma State in OT and taking down West Virginia and Kansas State to open March.
The Sooners defeated one team with a winning record in February and suffered a pair of double-digit losses against Baylor this season.
Oklahoma Has Recent Struggles in Big 12 Tournament
Oklahoma lost its last four Big 12 Tournament games under Lon Kruger and turned the ball over 42 times over two games against the Bears, which doesn’t bode well for their chances of avoiding a one-and-done showing in Kansas City that would likely doom it to the NIT.
Baylor vs Oklahoma Prediction
Tanner Groves has averaged 15 points and eight boards for the Sooners during their three-game win streak and will have to be productive in order to help deliver an upset.
Baylor is 7-1 over its last eight games and has scored 72 or more points in seven of those contests. Expect this final score to surpass the posted total.
Prediction: Over 133.5
