Double-double machine Omier registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 71-61 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Omier took just six shots but managed to churn out 10 points en route to another double-double as Baylor earned the much-needed victory. Omier has now tallied double-doubles in five straight games, eight of his last nine and has 17 total through 29 games this season. The win snapped a three-game losing streak by the Bears, who should still be safely on the right side of the bubble when selection Sunday rolls around in two weeks. If Baylor is to turn things around and fulfill their preseason expectations by going on a run through the postseason, Omier will be relied upon to be a major factor.

Records 15th double-double Omier totaled 18 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds and two blocks in 36 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 loss to Colorado.

Impact Omier did his part, recording his 15th double-double of the season, leading the Bears with 18 points though it wasn't enough as Baylor fell to a Colorado team that recorded just its second win in conference play. Omier now has seven double-doubles across his last nine games, averaging 17.2 points and 11.0 rebounds during that stretch. Despite his best efforts, Baylor has won just four of those nine games as the Bears find themselves moving dangerously closer to the NCAA tournament bubble.

Records 13th double-double Omier recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 74-71 OT victory over West Virginia.

Impact Omier collected his fifth double-double in the last seven games and 13th of the season during Baylor's OT win over West Virginia. The senior forward added four steals and a block defensively and managed 36 minutes in the overtime affair despite fouling out late. Omier is averaging a double-double this season with 15.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game but has increased his production over the last seven, averaging 17.4 points, 10.7 boards and 1.4 steals across 34.7 minutes as the Bears have alternated wins and losses through those seven contests.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly perfect from field Omier notched 19 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 37 minutes during Monday's 76-65 loss to Houston.

Impact Omier missed just one shot en route to leading the Bears with 19 points during Monday's loss. The senior forward connected on a season-best 88.9-percent of his field-goal attempts while also grabbing five boards. The low rebounding total broke a string of three-consecutive games with a double-double. While the Bears have struggled a bit more than expected this season, standing unranked with a 15-9 record, Omier has fulfilled every expectation since arriving from Miami in the offseason, averaging 15.7 points and 10.3 boards through 24 games.

10th double double Omier produced 18 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 13-14 FT), 16 rebounds, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 81-70 victory over Kansas.

Impact Omier shot just 2-for-8 from the floor but connected on 13-for-14 from the charity stripe en route to collecting his 10th double-double of the season during Saturday's win. Going head-to-head with Hunter Dickinson, Omier cleaned the glass for 16 boards, the second most he's accumulated this season. The senior forward is averaging a double-double this season and has carried that success into league play, averaging 14.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.1 rejections across 30.6 minutes through 10 league games.

Dominates with ninth double-double Omier registered 22 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 76-61 victory over Utah.

Impact Omier was coming off a three-point performance on Wednesday but rebounded in a big way, scoring 22 points while contributing his ninth double-double of the season. Omier matched Kansas' Hunter Dickinson for the most double-doubles in the Big 12 with the effort while his point total is the most Omier has recorded in a game in over two months. For the season, Omier is averaging 15.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks across 28.5 minutes per contest.

Dip in production off glass Omier logged 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 31 minutes during Sunday's 74-71 loss to TCU.

Impact Omier rebounded from a nine-point effort in his last game to lead the Bears with 20 points, the first time he's reached that mark in nearly two months. However, it was also the third-consecutive game the senior forward has failed to record at least 10 rebounds with his last two games representing his most futile efforts off the glass this season. Due to this recent trend, Omier is now averaging fewer than 10 rebounds per game for the first time in his career.

Impact After scoring just nine points during a loss to Iowa State in Baylor's last game, Omier rebounded with another double-double, contributing his eighth of the season while matching VJ Edgecombe for the team lead with 18 points. It was an efficient effort for Omier who needed just nine shots to reach the 18-point plateau, including draining his only shot from downtown. The senior forward has excelled in his first season with the Bears, averaging 15.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks across 27.8 minutes through 14 games.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Explodes for massive double-double Omier contributed 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-4 FT), 24 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 107-53 victory over Arlington Baptist.

Impact Omier compiled a monster double double with the 24 rebounds representing the most he's had in a game since 2021 while he was with Arkansas State. To be fair, the competition was light as Arlington Baptist is a Division II outfit but Omier excelled in Baylor's final tune-up prior to the start of conference play. The 25th-ranked Bears completed a brutal non-conference schedule that saw them match up against five ranked teams, finishing with a 2-3 mark as Omier averaged 18.0 points and 9.6 rebounds against ranked opponents.
