Team-high 15 points off bench Cryer notched a team-high 15 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding two assists and two steals in the win over Arkansas Pine-Bluff on Monday.

He is also shooting 60 percent from behind the arc. Cryer will be battling Adam Flagler for backcourt minutes off the bench behind the star trio of Davion Mitchell, Jared Butler, and MaCio Teague. Baylor will take on Central Arkansas next Tuesday.

Only plays 11 minutes Monday Vital had four points (2-5 FG), five rebounds, two blocks, one assist, and a steal in the rout of Arkansas Pine-Bluff on Monday.

Impact Vital only needed to play 11 minutes against an inferior opponent. He is averaging 5.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 20.2 minutes per game this season. Vital should play more as Baylor starts to get into conference play, as he can be a force on the glass at his best. The team's next game will be Dec. 29 against Central Arkansas.

Pulls down eight rebounds Thamba had four points (2-3 FG), eight rebounds, one assist, a steal, and a block in Monday's win over Arkansas Pine-Bluff.

Impact Thamba has started every game this season and is averaging 3.5 points and 4.2 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per contest. While Thamba is getting the starts, Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua seems to be the preferred option at the center position early in the season. Baylor will play Central Arkansas next Tuesday.

Continues effectiveness off bench Tchamwa Tchatchoua came off the bench and had 10 points (5-8 FG), eight rebounds, and one assist in the win over Arkansas Pine-Bluff on Monday.

Impact Tchamwa Tchatchoua has come off the bench in every game this season and has had a big impact. He is the leading rebounder on the team and is averaging 10.5 points and 7.2 boards on 60 percent shooting in 20.3 minutes per game. Tchamwa Tchatchoua is playing the majority of the minutes at the center position despite the fact that Flo Thamba continues to start. That may change in the future, but right now it's working for coach Scott Drew. Baylor will take on Central Arkansas next Tuesday.
