Things to watch in the Big 12 in Week 3, when Iowa State goes to TCU for the first game that counts in the conference standings. But more important to the league could be three more nonconference games against Power Five teams after going 0-3 in such games last week:GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 14 Oklahoma (1-1) hosting No. 3 Ohio St. (2-0). The Sooners and Buckeyes meet for the first time since 1983, and this is a game Oklahoma likely has to win to have any realistic chance of making it back into the four-team College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes were national champions two seasons ago in the first year of the CFP format, and Oklahoma last season became the first Big 12 team to make it. Ohio States defense hasnt given up a touchdown this season while also returning three interceptions for scores. Baker Mayfield has thrown five TDs for the Sooners, who had that season-opening loss to sixth-ranked Houston.BEST MATCHUPNo. 11 Texas (2-0) at California (1-1). Freshman quarterback Shane Buechele and the Longhorns are headed to the West Coast for their first road game. When California came to Austin with quarterback Jared Goff last season, the Bears escaped with a 45-44 victory after Texas made a late 21-point rally only to miss an extra point with 1:11 remaining. Goff was the first overall pick in the NFL draft and replaced by graduate transfer Davis Webb, who never played against the Longhorns while with Texas Tech the past three seasons.INSIDE THE NUMBERSBaylor, Texas and idle West Virginia are the leagues only undefeated teams . ...

But there were unique circumstances in 2012, with that game coming only two days after starting quarterback Casey Pachalls DWI arrest and suspension.IMPACT PERFORMEROklahoma State sophomore WR Jalen McCleskey is tied for the Big 12 lead with 7.5 receptions per game.

So we decided to just shut it down. Im already not moving great at 38 as it is, so to be out there moving on one leg is not helping myself and its not helping the team.The Mavericks were also without Andrew Bogut (personal reasons), and Lillard and the Blazers took advantage. With backcourt mate C.J. McCollum saddled with foul trouble for most of the game, Lillard had 18 of Portlands 25 points during a 14-minute stretch of the second half.Sensational. Amazing. All-Star.

The Mavericks scored more points (six) on the fast break in the first quarter than their game average of 4.5, the NBAs lowest.MISSING BOGUTLillard, who earlier this week said Golden States defense was just not the same without Bogut this year, began exploiting Boguts absence in the Dallas defense in the second quarter with an attacking style of play.Lillard scored 10 points in the quarter, all of them a result of drives to the basket that ended in lay-ups or foul shots.Hes a huge difference, Lillard said. He makes a huge difference for them defensively and offensively as a big that can catch the ball in the middle of the defense and make plays. And he protects the paint on defense.RALLY THE RESERVESThe Mavericks sliced into Portlands third-quarter lead, playing mostly with Barea and four reserves in the game. Justin Anderson scored two inside baskets and fired up the crowd with a block of Aminus layup at the other end.They went hard. They had energy.
