Keyonte George - Won't play Monday George (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Oklahoma State.
Impact George suffered a mild right ankle sprain during Saturday's win over Texas and is considered day-to-day for now. He'll be forced to miss at least one game, while his final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Saturday against Iowa State.

Jalen Bridges - Fills the stat sheet in comeback Bridges finished with 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 81-72 win over Texas.
Impact Bridges accumulated his best all-around stat line of the season considering his production on both ends of the court Saturday. The 6-foot-7 junior has been a consistent double-digit scorer since the start of Big 12 play this season, though he averaged just 6.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game while shooting 28.1 percent from the floor over the previous five contests. While he's unlikely to replicate the overall production from this win, Bridges' return to form is a good sign for his value heading into Baylor's final two regular-season games.

Langston Love - 11 points in comeback win Love registered 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and three rebounds over 22 minutes during Saturday's 81-72 victory over Texas.
Impact Love scored in double figures for the first time since the Feb. 8 win against Oklahoma. The reserve guard has been a consistent role player off the bench for Baylor this season, averaging 6.8 points and 2.3 rebounds while playing 17.4 minutes per game. Love also attempted more than four field goals for the first time in the last five games. This could have been due in part to the Bears' leading scorer Keyonte George failing to return after he exited with an ankle injury early in the first half. Should George miss time moving forward, then love and fellow reserve guard Dale Bonner would be next in line to see increased playing time over the final two regular-season games.

Dale Bonner - Plays 20 minutes in win Bonner provided 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 81-72 victory over Texas.
Impact Bonner logged his most extensive playing since his most recent start Dec. 31 versus Iowa State. The 6-foot-2 senior has seen extremely limited playing time and production since the start of Big 12 play, as he's averaged just 9.4 minutes while appearing in 11 of the last 16 games. However, he was called upon to play a bigger role after Baylor's leading scorer Keyonte George exited with an ankle injury early in the first half Saturday. Should George miss additional time moving forward, then Bonner and fellow reserve guard Langston Love would be next in line for increased roles moving forward.

Keyonte George - Doubtful to return George (ankle) is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against Texas, Seth Davis of CBS Sports reports.
Impact George rolled his ankle and is not expected to return. The freshman guard will finish with 0 points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3PT), one rebound and two turnovers if he is unable to return.

Keyonte George - Leading scorer in loss George recorded 23 points (7-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 75-65 loss to Kansas State.
Impact George logged his second 20-point performance in a row, as he shot exactly 7-of-15 from the field in each of these two outings. The 6-foot-4 freshman has also splashed 11 of his 20 three-point tries over this pair of games, increasing his three-point percentage to 35.8 on 7.2 three-point attempts per game this season. George's variance as a three-point shooter has made him a rather volatile fantasy scorer during conference action, and he's averaged 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists since the start of Big 12 play.

Adam Flagler - Falter from the floor in loss Flagler posted four points (1-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 75-65 loss to Kansas State.
Impact Flagler was never able to find his shooting stroke Tuesday, as he posted his worst shooting performance since going 1-of-11 from the field Jan. 28 versus Arkansas. Over the six contests between these two paltry performances, the 6-foot-3 senior posted 17.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 48.1 percent. Flagler will look to post a much more productive outing when Baylor faces No. 8 Texas on Saturday.

Flo Thamba - Plays 12 minutes in starting lineup Thamba posted one point (1-4 FT) and two rebounds over 12 minutes during Saturday's 87-71 loss to Kansas.
Impact Thamba logged his fewest minutes of any game this season after picking up fouls in Saturday's second-half collapse for Baylor. The 6-foot-10 senior has been one of the Bears' most consistent rebounders this season, averaging 4.8 boards while playing 21.7 minutes per game this season. However, Thamba has averaged just 15.8 minutes per game since reserve forward Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua returned from a knee injury over the last five contests.

Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua - Plays 25 minutes in loss Tchamwa Tchatchoua chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 87-71 loss to Kansas.
Impact Tchamwa Tchatchoua logged his most extensive playing time since returning from a year-long recovery following a knee injury. The 6-foot-8 junior reserve also played the second-most minutes of any Baylor forward despite coming off the bench again behind starting big men Jalen Bridges (34) and Flo Thamba (12), the latter of whom has logged 15.8 minutes per game over the last five games. Tchamwa Tchatchoua has now averaged 6.0 rebounds and 4.8 boards while playing 21.6 minutes per game over his five appearances this season.
