No. 4-seeded Baylor men’s basketball fell to No. 5-seeded Iowa State 83-66 Thursday in Kansas City, Mo. in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.

After defeating the Cyclones twice during the regular season, the Bears couldn’t manage the three-game season sweep as they fell in the quarterfinals for the third straight year.

The Iowa State offense stole the show on Thursday at the Sprint Center. The Cyclones shot 13-for-25 from 3-point range and made a sizzling 52 percent of their field goals.

Iowa State forwards Marial Shayok and Talen Horton-Tucker led the way, combining for 39 points and draining a total of nine 3-pointers.
