NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Taj Gray scored 16 points, Jaison Williams had 15 points and 10 assists and Oklahoma shot a school-record 66 percent in a 103-60 win Saturday against Baylor.

David Godbold added 14 points and Johnnie Gilbert scored 13 for Oklahoma.

The Sooners (21-6, 10-4 Big 12) extended a 16-point halftime lead by hitting their first seven shots of the second half. Terrell Everett made a 3-pointer from the right side to start a 26-3 run that ended any chance of a comeback by Baylor (9-16, 1-13).

Gray added a three-point play and Everett converted a fast-break layup before Godbold scored six of the next eight points for the Sooners. After a dunk by Gilbert and 3-pointers from each corner by Williams, Longar Longar slammed home an alley-oop with both hands to put Oklahoma ahead 74-36.

By that time, the Sooners were 12-for-13 on field goals in the half.

The Bears, who have lost 22 straight games to the Sooners, never put up much resistance.

Oklahoma hit its first 10 shots and took a 28-10 lead on Everett's layup after Gray stole a Baylor inbounds pass. The second of two 3-pointers by Williams started a string of 11 straight points for the Sooners that Gray capped with a right-handed jam to make it 20-8.

When the Sooners finally started missing, they were able to grab their own rebounds, too. Gray grabbed Lawrence McKenzie's missed 3-pointer for a putback, and two possessions later Gilbert rebounded his own miss and scored to make it 34-16.

By the time Baylor finally got its first rebound, the Bears had committed 10 turnovers and were trailing 36-19 with 5:09 to play in the first half. Ryan Pryor, a 6-foot-1 guard, was credited with the rebound when he was fouled by Godbold while going for the ball.

The Bears, who last beat Oklahoma on Dec. 6, 1977, were outrebounded 16-4 in the first half and trailed 44-28 at the break.
