Baylor vs. Oklahoma State Prediction

I like the Baylor Bears at home. I think they are playing at a really high level. I expect Flagler and Cryer to step up in the absence of George. Also, the bigs of Baylor in Thamba and Bridges have been playing better as of lately. The Bears go on the road and pickup a huge victory against Oklahoma State. Baylor is still looking to gain the top spot in the Big 12 standings.
