Baylor Bears Searching for Answers in Big 12 Play

The Baylor Bears enter this matchup with a 10-5 overall record and a 0-3 mark in Big 12 play. Baylor is averaging 88.3 points per game while allowing 74.3 points against. In the most recent outing, Baylor lost at home to Houston by a 77-55 score. Cameron Carr led Baylor with scoring production on the season, averaging 20.5 points per game, but the offense struggled to maintain rhythm against Houston’s pressure.

Baylor’s scoring depth is led by Cameron Carr and Tounde Yessoufou, who combine for over 38 points per game. Carr is shooting 54.5 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from three, while Yessoufou adds 17.5 points and six rebounds per game. The Bears also rely on Caden Powell inside, who leads the team with 8.0 rebounds per game and provides a physical presence in the paint. Baylor has shown the ability to score in bunches, highlighted by wins of 124-61 and 111-67 in late December, but conference play has exposed inconsistency on both ends.

Turnovers and shot selection have become issues during Baylor’s three-game losing streak. Baylor has scored 60 points or fewer in two of those losses, well below the season average. The Bears also allowed Houston to control tempo and spacing, limiting transition opportunities. Rebounding numbers remain solid at 40.9 per game, but the margin tightens against Big 12 opponents with comparable size and athleticism.

Oklahoma State Cowboys Lean on Scoring Depth at Home

The Oklahoma State Cowboys come into this game at 13-3 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 action. Oklahoma State is averaging 89.0 points per game while allowing 79.9 points. In the most recent contest, Oklahoma State lost on the road to Iowa State, 83-71. Anthony Roy led the Cowboys offensively on the season with 17.6 points per game, but Oklahoma State struggled to match Iowa State’s execution over the final stretch.

Oklahoma State’s offense features multiple scoring options, with Roy, Vyctorius Miller, and Parsa Fallah all averaging at least 14.9 points per game. Roy is shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from three, while Miller is connecting on 47.5 percent of his three-point attempts. Fallah averages 6.3 rebounds per game and an efficient 62.9 percent field goal rate. The Cowboys also average 15.7 assists per game, showing a willingness to move the ball and create open looks.

Recent results show Oklahoma State has been more effective at home, scoring at least 87 points in three of the last four home games. The Cowboys forced 13.2 turnovers per game on the season, which has helped create transition scoring chances. However, Oklahoma State has allowed over 80 points in two of the last three games, including a 102-80 loss at Texas Tech. Containing perimeter shooters remains a concern against teams with multiple scoring guards.
