Series History

When the Cowboys beat the Bears 61-54 in Waco earlier this season, it was the first time in OSU’s history it defeated a No. 1 team on the road.

The game was a coming out party for Bryce Thompson, who scored 19 points and had a game-icing steal on the defensive end. The Cowboys led by as many as 18 points in the first half. The Bears pulled to within a point with 1:21 to play before the Pokes closed on a 6-0 run, with all points coming from Thompson.

The Cowboys are 57-33 against Baylor in the teams’ all-time series, and OSU has beaten the Bears the past two times the teams have played. Here is a look at the past 10 meetings between the squads:
