LJ Cryer scored 16 points with four 3-pointers and Baylor ended a three-game losing skid, beating Oklahoma State 74-58 on Saturday in Waco, Tex.

The Bears have won 12 of their last 16 against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have lost three straight games.

Baylor kept the Cowboys in the dark well before a 20-minute power failure at Farrell Center in the second half stopped play.

Baylor (12-5, 2-3 Big 12) built a 13-0 lead with help of a pair of 3-pointers from LJ Cryer and another from Jalen Bridges. Oklahoma State didn’t score until Avery Anderson III made a layup a little more   than four-and-a-half minutes into the game.

The Cowboys (9-8, 1-4) turned it around and used a 13-1 run to reduce their deficit to 17-15 when reserve Caleb Asberry made a 3 with 10:24 left before intermission. But Baylor closed the half the way it started, outscored Oklahoma State 22-8 before intermission and led 39-23 at halftime.

Asberry finished the game with 14 points and Anderson
