Oklahoma and Texas have met in the Big 12 Championship five times with the Longhorns winning three of the five meetings including a 82-72 win over the Sooners in the quarterfinals of the 2014 tournament. Oklahoma did defeat Texas in the 2004 title contest 66-47 to win its then-second Big 12 Championship crown.
