Coming off of three straight wins to end the regular season, the Oklahoma Sooners still had some serious work left to do if they hoped to crash the NCAA Tournament party. Porter Moser’s guys were clearly up for the challenge, upsetting the No. 3 Baylor Bears by a score of 72-67 and putting themselves squarely in the conversation for a bid to the Big Dance.
The Sooners came out of the game looking like a team who had done a lot of homework on its opponent, spending the entire first half either leading or sitting neck-and-neck with the defending national champs.
