Matchup Breakdown
Baylor Outlook
The Bears average 88.3 points per game, with Cameron Carr leading the charge at 20.5 ppg. Carr’s 18 points vs Houston underscored his consistency, though turnovers and rebounding issues plagued Baylor in that loss. Their shooting efficiency (49.0% FG, 41st nationally) and rebounding (40.9 per game, 38th nationally) remain strengths. Baylor’s 2-3 road record shows vulnerability, but their offensive firepower gives them a chance to rebound quickly.
Oklahoma State Outlook
The Cowboys average 89.0 points per game, with Anthony Roy and Parsa Fallah providing scoring depth. Fallah’s 21 points and 11 rebounds vs Iowa State highlighted his impact, even in defeat. Oklahoma State’s free-throw production (20.2 made per game, 10th nationally) is a major weapon, and their 11-0 home record underscores Gallagher-Iba Arena as a difficult venue for visitors. Their recent 7-3 run in the last ten games shows consistency despite a tough schedule.
Key Factors
This contest may hinge on rebounding. Baylor was dominated on the glass against Houston, while Oklahoma State struggled to secure second-chance points vs Iowa State. Whichever team controls the boards will likely dictate tempo and scoring opportunities. Baylor’s efficiency vs Oklahoma State’s home dominance sets up a compelling clash.
