BEARS OPEN SECOND HALF OF CONFERENCE PLAY IN NORMAN

• BU went undefeated through non-conference play for the first time since 2009 and only the third time in program history. The 2001 season was the first time the Bears went unblemished in non-conference action with an 8-0 record, and the 2009 squad went a program-best 11-0.
• Baylor holds a 5-1 record in true road matches in 2019, including 3-1 in Big 12 play.
• BU is 7-2 against Oklahoma under head coach Ryan McGuyre.
