Baylor @ OU Score Predictions

[Sooner_In_MI]

I see OU coming out in desperation mode for this one, as I feel you can officially put our NCAA hopes on ice if we don't pull the upset here. Between that, the fact that Kruger will likely coach circles around Drew, and what will likely be a loud home atmosphere, I see OU keeping this close. However, I look at our roster vs. Baylor's roster and I just can't see us pulling the upset.

Baylor 79
OU 74

 

[Hecubus]

85-68 OU, just because last year we beat them twice.

...and I think our NCAA hopes are already on ice unless they can fix that lack of sharpness the team gets on defense sometimes that has cost them several great games (@Cincy, @A&M, @home against KU, @OSU...).

 

[WaymansFadeaway]

You lost me at loud, home atmosphere.

Baylor 81-71

 

[Max Power]

As much as it pains me...

Baylor 86
OU 64

and it honestly could be worse than this.

 

[Krugerfan52]

Last year Drew got outcoached (again) and we were riding high off the OT win in Ames. It was the Blair and Clark show. But Blair is no longer the starting PG and Clark is no longer starting. Plus Baylor is improved.

Baylor 75
OU 65

 

[Keller Sooner]

Sooners - 73
Bears - 71

Probably won't happen, but I can't pick against the Sooners.

 

[SoMuchDramaInTheLNC]

Hey, if Capel can outcoach Drew twice, then there's plenty of hope for Kruger!

That said...this BU team looks pretty good.

Baylor 76
OU 69

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

Don't know about a loud crowd or anything like that but I don't expect it to be pretty. If I was Baylor I'd be pissed as hell and out for blood. We may have the better coach but unless Lonnie Crewcut can suit up we just don't have the ponies to keep up.

81-63

 

[Boomer]

OU - 61
Care bears - 76

 

[NickZepp]

I don't care much for Drew but last year Baylor was young and bad on defense. This year they are average on defense but experienced. We don't stand a shot.

Baylor 86-70

 

[DenverSooner]

OU 76 Baylor 73

I am not sure I really believe that but I am not picking against OU. It just doesn't feel right to do that.

 

[DFWHoopster]

OU 85
Baylor 79

 

[Max Power]

OU 85
Baylor 79

Sending good vibes our way or trying not to commit hubris?

 

[StatGeek]

My prediction: Pain

 

[PeteHoops]

I learned the hard way to never bet against OU and even though the chances aren't great I'll go 74-69 OU.

 

[Haverhill]

Boomer 77
Baptists 76

 

[mc_soonerfan]

I'm the eternal optimist and always thinks OU can win, but I'll try to live in the real world for a moment and say...
79-64 Bailer (and screw the bairs for losing to gayU on their home court).
BTW, why do we still not have a Kruger emoticon, especially since we still have a Capel??????

 

[JBaker]

Baylor -74
OU - 59

 

[opsooner]

I'll go with 79-70, visitors, simply due to difference in talent level.

However, I can see OU winning this game if they play tough and hit their open shots. I think talent will win in the end though.

 

[Max Power]

I have never been happier to be wrong. We might not pull this one out, but we are not getting embarrassed on our home court. Proud of the way the team is playing.
