 STORY LINES

• No. 19/16 Baylor hosts Kansas State and first-year Head Coach Jerome Tang, the 49th meeting in series history.

• Tang was a member of Scott Drew's original staff at Baylor and spent 19 years on staff in Waco.

• Tang won two games as an interim coach at BU during the 2012-2013 season.

• Saturday marks the first time in his career that Scott Drew will square off against a former assistant as a head coach.

• BU leads the all-time series 25-23 with an 11-8 mark in Waco.

• The Bears have won seven-straight in the series, the longest winning streak by either team in the series.

• Prior to Baylor's win streak, KSU won six-straight, which was the longest by either team to that point.

• The Bears are looking to avoid the first 0-3 start to conference play since Drew's first year 2003-2004.

• The Bears had their 13-game home winning streak snapped against TCU, the fourth longest home winning streak in program history.

• The top nine Ferrell-Center winning streaks have all come under Scott Drew and six of the top eight have come in the last seven years.

• Baylor's 42-10 Big 12 record over the last 3 seasons is the 2nd best of any Power-5 team (Kansas).

• BU is 156-91 in Big 12 play in 13 seasons since 2010 after going 59-149 in the league's first 13 seasons.

• The Bears are the third-best offense in the Big 12 (16th best in the nation) according to Ken Pom (113.9 Adj. Efficiency rating), averaging 79.9 points per game.

• BU has won 71-straight when shooting a higher percentage than its opponent (last loss March 2, 2019 at K-State).

• Baylor is 24-8 against AP top 25 teams over the last four seasons, the nation's best mark against ranked teams. 15 of those wins came against top 25 teams away from home.

• Adam Flagler and Keyonte George were named to the Wooden Award Mid-season Top-25. BU is one of three schools with multiple players on the list (Kansas and North Carolina).

• With a career-high 27 points against TCU (1/4), George secured the second-most 20-point games by a BU freshman (5) since Perry Jones III (6).

• Baylor is 45-6 vs. unranked teams over the last three seasons.

• With its 65th consecutive week in the AP Top 25, Baylor has the nations second-longest streak (Gonzaga 123).

• BU held NWST to 48 points and improved to 44-1 under Drew when holding an opponent under 50 points (12/20).

• The Bears spent a school record 54-straight weeks top-10 ranked in the AP Poll (12/19/19 -12/5/22).

• Adam Flagler, Keyonte George and L.J. Cryer are all in the top-10 in the Big 12 in points per game, one of two schools to have multiple players and the only one to have three in the top-10.

• George scored a game-high 19 points to lift BU to a win over Washington St., its seventh-straight win over a Pac-12 foe (12/18).

• BU held the nation's best offense in Gonzaga, to a season-low 63 points in a 64-63 win in the inaugural Peacock Classic (12/2).

• Cryer set career highs in points (28), field goals (10), rebounds (4) and minutes (35) against No. 8 UCLA (11/20).

• Cryer's 23.5 points per game in Las Vegas earned his first-career Big 12 Player of the Week Award.
