  Norman, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - TaShawn Thomas scored 24 points with eight rebounds as No. 18 Oklahoma nabbed a 73-63 win over 22nd-ranked Baylor to open Big 12 action. Buddy Hield had 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Isaiah Cousins added 19 points and eight boards for the Sooners (10-3, 1-0 Big 12), who have won their last three. It was a good way to open conference play, said Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger. I thought it was really played at a high level. I thought both teams in the first half had what they wanted offensively and I thought both did a better job defensively in the second half. Johnathan Motley scored 24 points and Taurean Prince gave 17 for the Bears (11-2, 0-1), who had a six-game winning streak broken. Well I thought this was a typical Big 12 game in what the season will be about, and that it was hard fought, said Baylor head coach Scott Drew. I thought both teams defended. We shot 37 percent and they shot 40 percent. I think both teams feel that they could have played better and done things better. The teams stayed close through the first part of the first half until Lester Medford hit a pair of 3-pointers two minutes apart to give Baylor a 23-16 lead with 8 1/2 minutes left. Oklahoma came right back with a jumper from Thomas and a pair of 3s from Hield to take the lead back a minute later. With the score tied late in the half, Thomas made another bucket and Cousins closed the half with a jumper to give the Sooners a 37-33 lead at the break. Leading by two, the Sooners got seven straight points, with Cousins 3-pointer giving the team a 46-37 lead just over four minutes in. Baylor tried to keep up and kept the game close, but Hields 3-ball with just over six minutes to play gave the team a 58-46 lead, and the Sooners cruised from there. Game Notes Oklahoma plays at Texas on Monday ... Baylor hosts Kansas on Wednesday ... The Sooners shot 40.7 percent and grabbed 40 rebounds, while Baylor made 37.3 percent of its attempts, and nabbed 35 boards ... Oklahoma has dominated the series with Baylor, 42-11.

Tweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statsI didnt do a Sky Sports commentary this weekend because Liverpool against Chelsea has been rearranged to May 11 due to the Blues involvement in the FA Cup - but I covered Leicester versus Newcastle for the world feed.It was the first league double Leicester had done over Newcastle since the 1974/75 season. The Magpies have lost their last seven away games in the Premier League and its 50 years since they last lost seven consecutive away games in a single league season. Shinji Okazakis goal against Newcastle was first home goal for Leicester Shinji Okazaki scored his sixth Leicester City goal and his fifth in the Premier League - but it was his first goal at home. One of his away goals was at Newcastle in November. He has started the last 10 Premier League games and been substituted in all of them.By contrast, Georginio Wijnaldum, Newcastles top scorer with nine, is still waiting for his first away goal for the club.We referred to the partnership of Robert Huth and Wes Morgan last week - and it has gone to 43 Premier League games and 24 wins to go with 12 draws and only seven defeats.Jeffrey Schlupp came on as a substitute for the fourth consecutive game to reach 50 Premier League appearances.Jack Colback, quite conspicuously, avoided any risk of getting a 10th yellow card that would have kept him out of a game that means so much to him against Sunderland - and he is ready to face the Black Cats on Sky Sports on Super Sunday.Fewest points for fourth Manchester City are currently fourth in the table Whats the lowest points tally a Premier League team has needed to qualify for the Champions League? RikMARTIN SAYS: Since the Premier League was awarded a fourth Champions League spot at the start of the 2001/02 season, the average points of the team that has finished fourth is 69.35.However, the lowest points total any team has mustered and still come fourth were Liverpool with 60 in 2003/04, while the most is Arsenal who managed to come fourth in 2013/14 with 79 points.The four main contenders for the final Champions League place this season - Arsenal, Manchester City, West Ham and Manchester United - are all on track to finish on more than the record low of 60 - but less than the average of 69.35.Arsenal are third on 52 points and have picked up 1.79 points per game. At that rate they will finish on 68 points at the end of the season.City are currently in fourth on 51 points, and will finish on 67 if they continue on their current points per game rate. While West Ham would finish on 64 and Manchester United on 62.If City finish on 67 points and finish fourth, it will be the lowest tally since Arsenal finished fourth with the same total in 2005/06.When Chelsea finished sixth in 2011/12 and won the Champions League to qualify for the next seasons competition, they still amassed 64 points - which in some seasons would have been enough to finish fourth.Villas goalscoring woes Aston Villa have only scored 22 goals this season What is the lowest number of goals scored in a Premier League season, and are Aston Villa in danger of beating this record? Stephen BonifaceMARTIN SAYS:: Aston Villa are not in danger of becoming the lowest scorers in Premier League history during a single season, having already scored 22 goals - two more than Derby County managed when they were relegated in 2007/08.ddddddddddddemi Gardes side, however, could join an exclusive club of nine other teams that have mustered fewer than 30 goals in a single campaign.Sunderland lead the way having done so three times (29 goals in 2001/02, 21 goals 2002/03 and 26 in 2005/06), while Burnley scored just 28 times last season.Norwich (28 in 2013/14), Middlesbrough (28 in 2008/09), Birmingham (28 in 2005/06) and West Brom (29 in 2002/03) were also relegated after scoring less than 30 goals in a season.However, Manchester City (29 in 2006/07), Leeds United (28 in 1996/97) stayed up with fewer than 30 goals scored, a feat also managed by Sunderland in 2005/06.League leaders Tottenham have not been top of the Premier League yet this season If Tottenham go on to win the Primer League, would it be the least amount of time any side has spent at the top in a title-winning season?MARTIN SAYS: Tottenham have not finished a matchday top of the Premier League at all so far this season (and have only spent 33 days on top in the history of the competition).They currently trail Leicester by five points, so Saturday, April 2 is the earliest they could go top of the Premier League this season.Should they do so on that date, which would rely on Leicester to lose their next game at Crystal Palace and Spurs to win both of theirs, then the longest that Mauricio Pochettinos side could top the table for this season is 43 days.Only two sides have led the Premier League for less time in one season and lifted the title.Manchester City led for just 15 days in 2013/14 when they overtook Liverpool in the final days of the season, while Manchester United were on top for just 31 days of the 2002/03 season.At the other end of the spectrum, Chelsea led for an impressive 274 days last season after going top in August.Southamptons poor discipline Sadio Mane became the sixth Southampton player sent off this season in the Premier League Southampton have had six red cards this season. Whats the highest any team has finished after getting so many? PaddyMARTIN SAYS: To date, 37 teams have had at least six red cards in a season since the inception of the Premier League.Perhaps surprisingly, only seven of those clubs have been relegated during that campaign (Hull - 6 in 2014/15 and 2009/10, Nottingham Forest - 6 in 1998/99, Birmingham - 7 in 2005/06, Newcastle - 8 in 2008/09, Blackburn, - 8 in 1998/99 and Leicester - 8 in 1994/95).As you can see from the above, three of the four sides to finish a season on eight red cards were relegated - but the other side to do so - West Ham in 1999/2000 - finished ninth.No Premier League side has yet reached double figures for red cards in a single season, although QPR (2011/12) and Sunderland (2009/10) went close with nine dismissals. QPR finished 17th that year and Sunderland were 13th.Southampton are seventh in the Premier League table, despite their six red cards this season, and could become just the eighth side with at least that many to finish in the top eight.Arsenal have been the best performing side with a poor disciplinary record, winning the league in 2001/02 with six red cards, while they finished second in 1998/99 with seven and fourth in 2010/11 with six.They are the three highest finishes of any team with six red cards in a season.
