Freshman Cameron Clark scored 25 points to lead Oklahoma past Baylor 73-66 Wednesday in Norman, Okla.
Picked to finish at the bottom of the Big 12, Oklahoma lost its first three conference games but has now won four straight and is tied for third place.
Clark accounted for seven points during a 23-4 run that put the Sooners (12-9, 4-3 Big 12) in command in the second half.
Baylor (14-7, 4-4 Big 12) went without a field goal for over five minutes and found itself down 12 with five minutes to play.
The Bears cut the deficit to three, 69-66, on a LaceDarius Dunn layup with 31 seconds to play, but Oklahoma point guard Carl Blair made four straight free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal the win for the Sooners.
Blair finished with a season-high 19 points and handed out seven assists.
Freshman forward Perry Jones led Baylor with 19 points, and Dunn finished with 15.
The game, originally scheduled for Tuesday night, was pushed to Wednesday afternoon due to the massive snow storm that hit the Midwest this week.
