No. 5 Baylor MBB prevails in defensive clash with Sooners

By Gio Gennero | Sports Writer

No. 5 Baylor men’s basketball improved to 17-2, 5-2 in conference, after a physical 65-51 win over the University of Oklahoma (12-7, 2-5 Big 12). Baylor’s defense proved to be too much as OU’s 51 points was the fewest the team had scored in a game in almost three years as the Bears remain undefeated on the road. Baylor is now 32-1 against unranked teams over the past 2 seasons.

Head coach Scott Drew attributed their success to having good depth and different players who can step up when needed.

“Last game, we hit threes and Matt [Mayer] came out and was on fire, but every game is different,” Drew said.
