Series History

The Cowboys were one of only two teams to defeat Baylor last season on the Bears’ national championship run.

These team’s last meeting came in last season’s Big 12 Tournament semifinal. Cade Cunningham dropped 25 on Baylor that day to go with eight rebounds and five assists. Avery Anderson added 20 points.

The Cowboys boast a 56-33 all-time record against the Bears, but it’s been all Baylor as of late. OSU has won just four of its past 17 matchups against Baylor. Here is a look at how the teams’ past 10 meetings have shaken out.
