(Norman-AP) -- Eduardo Najera got some rest in Oklahoma's win against Texas Tech. Najera only played 23 minutes instead of his usual 36 minutes. But he's planning on putting in a full night's work against Missouri for the 20th-ranked Sooners' last home game.

The Tigers are tied with Oklahoma for third place in the conference race. Both want to finish in the league's top four which would result in a first-round bye in the league's postseason tournament.

Missouri is 5-and-1 on the road and its 79-point-9 points per game are the most in the Big 12. It's also tops in shooting from 3-point range with 40-point-5 percent.

Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson says if Missouri is shooting well, they'll beat anybody. After Saturday's game, Oklahoma travels to Texas A-and-M before winding up the regular season at Oklahoma State on March 4th.
