Baylor's Rhule slept on his office floor Monday night

Evidently determined to snap a three-game losing streak to open the season, Baylor coach Matt Rhule spent all of Monday night in his office, even taking his snooze on the floor with just a pillow.

Why he elected to sleep on the hard floor rather than a soft couch seems questionable. Regardless, Rhule was rested enough to recount the story to reporters Tuesday:

The winless Bears are preparing to play undefeated Oklahoma, a team many thought they were mocking three days ago before losing to Duke. However, Rhule said Tuesday the pregame "Oklahoma Drill" wasn't meant to rib the Sooners.

"It's a great opportunity to come together and establish our physicality as a team before games," he said, via Baylor Diehards.
