Freshman Perry Jones III scored a career-high 25 points and Baylor shot a season-best 62 percent from the field as the Bears won their fourth straight game Tuesday night, 74-61 over Oklahoma in a Big 12 Conference contest in Waco, Texas.

All-America candidate LaceDarius Dunn, the nation’s eighth leading scorer at 23 points, added 16, including four 3-pointers, and Quincy Acy chipped in 15 points and eight rebounds to lead Baylor (12-3, 2-0 Big 12) to its third consecutive win over Oklahoma (8-8, 0-2).

The Bears never trailed in the game and led late in the first half 36-23, but Oklahoma connected on three straight treys in the final 1:20 to trail only 36-32 at the break. Baylor, which connected on 28 of 45 from the field, held off a number of challenges by the Sooners in the second half and pulled away thanks to Jones’ 13 second half points.

Oklahoma was led by Steven Pledger who had 17 points, including five 3-pointers, while Cameron Clark added 16.
