Six assists in blowout Mitchell tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists, two steals, one rebound, and a block in Monday's rout of Arkansas Pine-Bluff.

Impact Mitchell was not needed to produce much in this game against an inferior opponent. The 6-2 junior is putting up impressive numbers this season, averaging 13.2 points, 6.0 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, and 2.3 steals per game.

14 points, 7 assists in rout Butler notched 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, and two steals in Monday's win over Arkansas Pine-Bluff.

Impact Butler has only needed to play 26.8 minutes per game so far this season, as Baylor has steamrolled virtually everyone they have played to this point. The Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year is still averaging impressive numbers at 14.8 points, 6.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers per game. He should have another easy game next Tuesday against Central Arkansas.

Back in action Turner (undisclosed) had seven points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes off the bench in Monday's 99-42 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Impact Turner has missed two of the last three games for Baylor, but the freshman hadn't been a primary contributor anyway. The Bears were able to empty the bench in this blowout victory, however, which led to a season-high minutes total for the 6-8 forward. With upperclassmen Mark Vital and Matthew Mayer holding down most of the minutes at power forward, playing time will be tough to come by for Turner as the competition gets fiercer.

Won't play Saturday Turner will not be available for Saturday's game against Kansas State, source reports.

Impact Turner hasn't played more than three minutes in a game this season, so his unavailability Saturday shouldn't have a large overall impact. Still, the Bears will be down some depth at wide receiver as a result.
