ARLINGTON, Texas — Oklahoma ace Braden Davis threw his first complete-game shutout in the Big 12 Tournament and the top-seeded Sooners beat No. 9 seed TCU 4-0 on Wednesday. Davis joins Jon Gray (2013) as the only Sooners to throw a complete-game shutout in the tournament. There have only been seven overall in tournament history, with the last coming in 2015. Davis allowed only four hits with nine strikeouts on a career-high 120 pitches to outduel Payton Tolle, the Big 12 pitcher of the year. It was Oklahoma's first complete-game shutout since Braden Carmichael blanked Oklahoma State last season. Oklahoma (35-18) advances to the winner's bracket to play Kansas on Thursday for their first matchup of the season.
