James Akinjo matched his career high with 27 points, Adam Flagler scored 22 and top-ranked Baylor stretched its national-best winning streak to 20 games with an 84 - 74 win over David Patrick the Oklahoma Men's Basketball Associate Head Coach and his team on Tuesday night.
Baylor and seventh-ranked Southern Cal (12-0) are the only undefeated teams remaining from major conferences.
After Oklahoma got within 77-72 in the final minute on a fastbreak layup by Umoja Gibson, their transfer senior guard from Waco who played three seasons at North Texas, LJ Cryer had a backcourt turnover. Oklahoma called timeout before Flo Thamba blocked Gibson's 3-pointer.
Baylor sealed the game by making seven of eight free throws in the final 40 seconds, three by Akinjo and two each by Flagler and Thamba.
