GAME NOTES
• Baylor faces its first true road test of the season at Memphis on Saturday at the FedExForum.
• This will be the first time since 2014 the two teams have met after announcing a four-year non-conference series over the summer. Following Saturday's matchup, Memphis will travel to Waco on Dec. 5, 2026. During the 2027-28 season, Memphis will return to Baylor. The final game in the series will take place in the 2028-29 campaign at Memphis in the FedExForum.
• Baylor holds a 141-136 all-time record against teams in the American Conference.
• The Baylor offense has been sharing the wealth with at least four Bears scoring in double-figures in all seven games.
• BU is ranked seventh in the nation and second in the Big 12 behind BYU in offense efficiency (123.1) according to KenPom.
• The Bears are third in the Big 12 and 27th in the nation in scoring offense (90.1).
• Baylor recently put up 110 points against Sacramento State, the most points in a game since 11/7/22 vs. MVSU.
• The Bears' .603 FG-percentage against Sacramento State was the best FG-percentage posted since 12/22/23 vs. MVSU.
• Baylor ranks third in the Big 12 in offensive rebounds per game (14.71) and 22nd in the nation.
• BU's Tounde Yessoufou (27) & Cameron Carr (25) became Baylor's first two 25-point scorers in a
game since Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. (31) & Manu Lecomte (25) vs. Savannah State (12/17/17). Yessoufou's 27
points was a career-high.
• Cameron Carr earned his first weekly honor of his career after being named in the Big 12's Starting
Five for his Week 3 performance at the Players Era tournament.
• Carr has started the season putting up a minimum of 16 points in all seven games this season. Carr is the first Bear since Tevis Stukes (1999-2000) to begin the season recording at least 16 points in the first seven games.
• Carr ranks fifth in the nation and second in Big 12 in points per game (23.0). Additionally, Carr is
second in conference and 14th in NCAA in three-point percentage (50.0).
• Obi Agbim leads the Big 12 and is fourth in the nation in assist/turnover ratio (5.60).
• BU is one of three high-major programs, including Miami and Memphis, with zero returning players. The
Bears are additionally one of seven Power-Five teams to return zero points from the 2024-25 season.
• Baylor is 89-45 in road+neutral non-conference games in the Scott Drew era, including an 18-14 record in true road non-conference games under Drew. A win would be the first non-con road win since 12/18/21 at Oregon.
