Baylor vs. Oklahoma Prediction and Pick

The Bears remain banged up after they played and won without two key guards in James Akinjo and Jeremy Sochan. Both are game time decisions for this matchup and they are going to be necessary against the turnover-driven Sooners defense.

Moser's team is top 50 nationally in generating loose balls and also seem primed for a big victory after ShotQuality stated they should've beaten Kansas by 11 on Tuesday night. The Sooners have a great interior offense around transfer big man Tanner Groves but have struggled to find their three-point shot in conference play.

The team is hitting on less than 29% of their three-point tries in Big 12 play, which is way below their typical 35% out of conference play.

Count on some positive regression for the Sooners and some negative for the visitors if they are without their lead guards again. Baylor was somewhat lucky to win at West Virginia after the Mountaineers missed several open layups in the second half.

LEAN: Oklahoma +3.5
