Kansas City, MO— No. 7 Texas came out on fire in the Big 12 Championship game, on a mission to dethrone No. 4 Baylor from the Big 12 throne.
They did so with a 67-58 dominating performance where the burnt orange were in control from start to finish to win their first tournament title since 2003. It was their first victory over Baylor since 2017, which snapped a 13-game Baylor winning streak in the series.
And they did so by neutralizing two-time Big 12 Player of the Year, All-American and potential No. 1 WNBA draft pick NaLyssa Smith.
