Oklahoma State basketball vs. Baylor live stream: Odds, channel, prediction
Baylor basketball blooks to pick up its second straight win against Cade Cunningham and Oklahoma State basketball.
One of the big storylines in college basketball this week was concern over the state of Baylor basketball. A lengthy COVID pause had done a number on the Bears, who were sluggish in a win over Iowa State before losing to Kansas on Saturday, raising questions about whether there was a possibility they could fall off the top line in the NCAA Tournament.
Head coach Scott Drew said after the loss to the Jayhawks that he felt the pause contributed significantly to the Bears’ rusty form in those two games. Baylor recovered nicely in a key road date against West Virginia on Tuesday, winning in overtime to secure their first Big 12 title.
