Ramping up production Bailey posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 68-63 victory over Northwestern. Impact Bailey has stepped up his offensive game in a major way of late, as the freshman has averaged 17.0 ppg across five contests since Jaylen Clark went down with an Achilles injury. Fellow backcourt player David Singleton is also dealing with an ankle injury, and it's unclear how healthy he'll be for Thursday's matchup against Gonzaga. That could result in even more touches sent Bailey's way, as the Bulldogs will presumably key in on Jaime Jaquez defensively. In addition to scoring, however, Bailey has also been a key distributor, recording six assists in both NCAA Tournament games so far.
