For the second straight year, Baylor is the Big 12 champions. They share the 2021-22 title as they top Iowa State, 75-68.

Down 64-62, the Bears finished the game with a 13-4 run. Senior point guard James Akinjo led the way with 20 points and six rebounds. Freshman Kendall Brown had a double double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Baylor watched a 30-8 lead disappear in the second half to where they trailed on a couple of occasions. However, the Bears earn their eighth conference championship in school history.

They will be the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 tournament starting Thursday in Kansas City.
