Baylor-Oklahoma Preview and Prediction

Baylor (12-8, 2-6) takes on Oklahoma (15-5, 5-3) at 8:00 on Tuesday. The game is in Norman and airs on ESPN2.

Oklahoma’s point guard, Trae Young, has been the star of college basketball. He’ll be a massive challenge for the Bears.

As always, we’ll look at playing offense against the opponent, then turn to defense. Finally, we’ll close with a prediction.

The Sooner’s defense is okay. They rank 63rd in defensive efficiency. With nobody taller than 6-foot-9 in their starting five, they allow quite a few shots at the rim. Opponents are attempting 40.2% of their shots at the rim, per hoop-math:

Oklahoma’s not very good at defensive rebounding.
