No. 4 Baylor women’s basketball, hot off a scorching quarterfinal win, torched the University of Oklahoma 91-76 in the semifinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament Saturday afternoon in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
In the contest, the Bears set a program record for 3-pointers made in a single season with 215, hitting seven against the Sooners to claim the feat Saturday. With the win, head coach Nicki Collen became the first first-year head coach to reach the championship game since 1997.
The outright Big 12 regular season champs were fueled by career-highs from senior forwards Nalyssa Smith and Caitlin Bickle.
