That’s probably the understatement of the year. The Sooners dropped a 59-53 decision to Baylor, and although the final score was much closer than the last time these two teams met a couple of weeks ago in Norman, there weren’t really many signs that Oklahoma is getting better as the end of the regular season draws near.
In fact, a strong case can be made the Oklahoma basketball is getting worse. Call it the February curse — the Sooners are just 3-17 in their last 20 February games — or whatever you want. The truth is, the OU men are not nearly as good as their 11-1 season start deceived us to believe.
