Oklahoma basketball: Sooners facing bear of a task at No. 2 Baylor

Lest I remind everyone that Kansas beat the Sooners by the same amount at Oklahoma last Tuesday.

Now that we’ve defined the degree of difficulty Oklahoma will face against a Baylor team that is good enough to win the national championship, here is what the Sooners must do to stay in the game with the Bears, who, by the way, have won 14 straight games and are 8-0 at home this season.

Baylor makes its living offensively in the paint and on the three-point line, firing at a Big 12 second-best 36-percent clip. The Bears also rebound well, especially on the offensive glass, which has been a problem for the Sooners all season.
