Bears drop shootout in Norman

By Ben Everett | Sports Writer

Baylor men’s basketball dropped to 0-8 against Top-25 teams this season with a 98-96 loss to No. 12 Oklahoma Tuesday night in Norman, Okla.

The Bears (12-10, 2-7) had their best shooting game of the season, but the Sooners (16-5, 6-3) came up with the win to remain undefeated at home.

Senior point guard Manu Lecomte and Oklahoma freshman point guard Trae Young dueled all night, with Lecomte scoring 29 points and Young dropping 44 points.

The game came down to the final seconds, with Baylor junior guard Jake Lindsey missing the front end of a 1-and-1 free throw opportunity with four seconds left after Young had converted on two shots from the line to give Oklahoma the lead.
