Waco, Texas ? Chelsea Whitaker had 16 points and eight assists, many at key times for Baylor, and the seventh-ranked Bears clinched their first Big 12 Conference regular season title outright with a 79-69 victory over No. 13 Texas Tech on Thursday night.

Baylor (24-3, 14-2 Big 12) won all 14 home games this season, and stretched its homecourt winning streak to 17 since a loss to Texas Tech late last season.

The Raiders (21-6, 12-4) missed a chance to share their fourth Big 12 title and dropped to the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 tournament next week.

Already assured the tournament’s top seed, the Lady Bears made sure they didn’t have to share their first title with Texas Tech and No. 11 Texas (20-7, 13-3). Baylor shot 62 percent (30-of-54).
