The No. 17 Baylor men’s basketball team is now tied for first place in the Big 12 after a 69-65 victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Wednesday in Stillwater, Okla.
Wednesday night’s win completed the Bears’ season sweep over the Cowboys, but it looked like Oklahoma State was not going to let that happen for most of the night.
The Cowboys took over early, leading 12-7 at the 15-minute mark. Baylor picked up its defense and forced four turnovers, but the Bears had trouble getting into a rhythm on offense. OSU widened its lead to 23-11 with eight minutes left in the half.
