Baylor men’s basketball fell short on the road against Oklahoma, 73-71, after mounting a furious second-half comeback on Tuesday in Norman, Okla.
The No. 19-ranked Bears (21-9, 10-7) were down by as many as 26 in the first half but rallied to take a 68-67 lead over the No. 6-ranked Sooners (23-6, 11-6) with two minutes left in the game.
Oklahoma started the game hot, going on an 8-2 run out of the gates. OU’s early run was punctuated by a three-pointer from Sooner guard Isaiah Cousins.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew called a timeout to try to stop the run, but Oklahoma did not let up.
