Moore Takes Charge vs. Oklahoma State
Jalon Moore provided 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday’s 66-62 victory over Oklahoma State. Moore led Oklahoma in both scoring and rebounding Saturday, finishing as the only Sooner to finish in double-figures with 15 points.
The junior power forward also added a career-high four blocks as he was the most important cog in Oklahoma’s close win over their in-state rivals. The Sooners have won three of four, thanks in large part to Moore, who is in the midst of playing his best basketball of the season, averaging 14.8 points while shooting 61.3% from the floor and 57.1% from three over that four game stretch. He’s also added 8.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks while playing 29.5 minutes per contest.
Love Misses Loss to Kansas
Langston Love (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday’s 64-61 loss to Kansas. Love apparently suffered the injury earlier in the week against Texas Tech, and he was spotted in street clothes prior to the contest, suggesting he would sit. The Baylor sixth-man’s absence was felt, as he’s the team’s third-leading scorer and shooting 46.1 percent from distance on the year. Without Love, Baylor leaned more on its starters, with Miro Little catching a bit more action in a reserve capacity. Love’s next chance to take the court will be Tuesday against Oklahoma.
