Stillwater, Oklahoma- After eating an entire medium pizza for dinner on Friday, I couldn’t tell if my gut was telling me that Baylor was in trouble down 50-48 near the under 12 timeout of the second half, or if my body was ready to shut down for punishing it like that. Baylor had an easy solution for their struggle: throw Mark Vital at the five. That lineup powered Baylor (14-0, 70) past Oklahoma State (9-4, 3-4) 81-66. My body searches for a solution to its travails.
With Cade Cunningham out—he did go through pregame warmups for a minute—this seemed like it might be an easy victory for the Bears.
