Oklahoma State has had players score 20 points 19 times this season after recording 14 in 2005-2006. The Cowboys needed nine games to get their first 20-point outing last season.

After back-to-back losses against South Carolina and Syracuse, Baylor has won four straight contests, including Tuesday's 76-63 triumph over Centenary.

Tweety Carter and Curtis Jerrells scored 14 points apiece, Patrick Fields added 10 and Tim Bush grabbed 10 rebounds for the Bears, who are off to their best start since 2001-2002.
