BAYLOR BEARS NEWS

Kendall Brown - 13 points against Texas Brown accumulated 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Monday's 68-61 victory over Texas.

Impact Brown put together a good outing against the Longhorns to pick up a key road win and stay alive in the race for the Big 12 title. Brown started the season very consistent, but has been up and down in conference play. The freshman is now averaging 9.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game this season. Baylor closes out the regular season on Saturday against Iowa State.

Adam Flagler - Drops 19 points in road win Flagler registered 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 68-61 win over Texas.

Impact Flagler is hitting on all cylinder at the right time as Baylor looks to defend their title from last season. Over the last five games he is putting up 19.0 points, 4.0 three-pointers, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per contest. Baylor will hope Kansas drops one of their last three games and they take care of business against Iowa State on Saturday to lock up a share of the Big 12 title.

James Akinjo - Big line in key road win Akinjo amassed 19 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 68-61 victory over Texas.

Impact Akinjo turned in one of his best lines of the season in a big road game against a great defense just two days after beating Kansas at home. Over the last seven games Akinjo is putting up 13.7 points, 6.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per contest. Baylor's backcourt led them to the title last season and the duo of Akinjo and Adam Flagler will hope to do the same in 2022.

Flo Thamba - Shows offensive burst Thamba contributed 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 FT) and nine rebounds over 23 minutes during Saturday's 80-70 victory over Kansas.

Impact It's no coincidence that in the five games Jonathan Tchmwa Tchatchoua was affected or out by his season-ending knee injury, Thamba has produced seven or more rebounds in each. The 6-10 senior has also shown an offensive aspect to his game that hadn't previously been put on display much, as he has scored in double figures three times, culminating in a season-high 18 points. Not bad considering he had been in double digits just once all last season. Thamba will need to continue carrying a massive workload if the Bears intend to make any kind of tournament run. If he goes to the bench, however, 6-9 freshman Jeremy Sochan appears to be the man taking his place.

If he is unable to play Monday, Cryer's next opportunity to return will come in the regular-season finale against Iowa State on Saturday.
