By Michael Haag | Sports Writer

No. 3 Baylor men’s basketball was upset 72-67 in the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship by the University of Oklahoma Thursday evening in the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo.

The Big 12 regular season champs shot a season-worst 3-of-22 (13.6%) from three-point range. Contrary to Baylor (26-6, 14-4 Big 12), OU found lots of success behind the arc, as they shot 53% from deep. The Sooners (18-14, 7-11 Big 12) were efficient from the floor as well, connecting on 51% of their shots, while the Bears couldn’t get the lid off the basket, only making 38% of their shots from the field.
