No. 1 Oklahoma (37-1, 12-0) is once again making a quick turnaround from a home sweep to a road doubleheader as they head to Waco for two games against Baylor (24-13, 5-4) on Tuesday evening.
Since suffering their first loss of the season last week, the Sooners have rattled off four straight wins in dominant fashion allowing just three total runs including shutting out Texas Tech in every game of their series last weekend. Simply put, the loss didn’t exactly shake their confidence. They picked up right where they were previously absolutely eviscerating their way to wins.
As for the Bears, they had a solid bounce back weekend taking two of three from Iowa State after having been swept in Stillwater by Oklahoma State the weekend previous. A solid team with some good wins under their belt, they will need to be on their A++ game to try and steal one from goliath that is this Oklahoma team.
Patty Gasso discussed after Sunday’s win over the Red Raiders how the team has the advantage of having learned from their mistakes in this exact situation a week ago when they swept Texas before a road doubleheader at Georgia. Having just gone through this almost exact situation just last week will surely help the team know how to handle it much better in terms of preparation, an area where Gasso admitted they may have overdone things rather than resting more in the time between the two series.
Dating back to 2017, Oklahoma has won a jaw-dropping 55 consecutive regular season Big 12 games – with the last loss against coming against these very Bears. Baylor is coached by Glenn Moore in his 21st year with the program.
