MaCio Teague scored 17 points to lead No. 2 Baylor to a 76-61 home win over Oklahoma on Wednesday.
Teague hit four 3-pointers to help the Bears stay undefeated (10-0, 3-0 Big 12).
Bears coach Scott Drew passed his father, longtime Valparaiso coach Homer Drew, with his 372nd career win.
The Bears poured it on early, building a 16-2 lead over the first seven minutes as the Sooners started just 1 of 11 from the floor.
Oklahoma shot just 20.6 percent in the first half, including a paltry 1 of 15 from behind the 3-point line.
Baylor didn't have near that much trouble from beyond the arc, going 6 for 11 in the first half.
Still, the Sooners cut the Bears' lead to five late in the first half before another big Baylor run, this one 14-2, to take a 17-point lead into halftime.
The Sooners (6-3, 2-2) cut the lead to nine early in the second half but could get no closer as Baylor won for the sixth consecutive time in the series.
Baylor has won all 10 of its games by double figures, the longest streak in school history.
Matthew Mayer added 16 points for Baylor while Adam Flagler scored 15.
Adam Reaves led the Sooners with 19 points but was just 6 of 14 from the floor and 2 of 9 from behind the arc.
The Sooners were just 4 of 24 from behind the 3-point line.
Alondes Williams added 11 points for Oklahoma.
Oklahoma's Brady Manek and Baylor's Mark Vital were involved in a scary collision less than five minutes into the game.
Vital drove the lane, where he ran into Manek, who tumbled backward over a pair of other players in the lane. Vital came down on Manek's jaw, drawing blood and forcing Manek from the game.
Vital was seen holding his wrist after hitting one of two free throws. Manek came back into the game about five minutes later. Vital played just 16 minutes.
