The Oklahoma Sooners hung in there with the Baylor Bears for three quarters of this game, but the Baylor Bears used their strong home presence to gather the momentum needed to close out the win.
The Sooners fell to 12-12 on the season and 2-9 in Big 12 play. They just didn’t have enough firepower to stay with the No. 14 Bears on a night where they shot nearly 50% from the floor.
Oklahoma lost the turnover battle 14-7 and was just 6 of 12 from the free-throw line. In a 10-point game, those are the areas that make the biggest difference, especially on the road.
It was an unfortunate end to a strong performance, but the Sooners NCAA tournament odds are hanging on by a thread. Grant Sherfield led the way with 15 points as four Sooners scored in double figures.
