Rome, Florence and study in London 100 N. I-35 FRIDAY | JANUARY 21, 2011 www.baylorlariat.com Sports the Baylor Lariat|5 Ferrell Center Doubleheader Men look to rebound vs. OSU By Chris Derrett Sports Editor

A week after their blowout loss at home to Kansas, the Baylor men welcome Oklahoma State to the Ferrell Center at 3 p.m. Saturday. The game gives the Bears a chance to rebound from back-to- back forgettable games, the latest being an 85-65 defeat to the Jay- hawks. Watching the scoreboard at halftime Monday night, showing a 20-point Jayhawk lead, was frus- trating. Seeing it on film before a week of intense practice was even more difficult.
