Yves Missi - Proves clutch in debut Missi finished Tuesday's 88-82 win over Auburn with 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), two blocks and two steals over 18 minutes.
Impact The 7-foot freshman was expected to be behind Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua and Joshua Ojianwuna on the depth chart, but following an impressive preseason he played more minutes than both and was the preferred option down the stretch. Missi's steal and dunk with under three minutes remaining gave Baylor the lead for good and he later added a couple of free throws and a block to help seal the victory. Missi was uncertain to receive playing time early in the season, but Tuesday's performance indicates that he'll be playing a much larger role for Baylor than was initially anticipated.

Impact The senior forward decided to return to Baylor after flirting with professional opportunities and played a key role in the Bears' opening win. Bridges averaged 10.3 points and 5.6 rebounds in just over 27 minutes per game last year and if Tuesday's performance is any indication, he has a good chance to improve on those numbers this season.
