<p><b>Story lines</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• No. 9/9 Baylor closes out the month of November with its fourth all-time meeting with the
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Nicholls</span> Colonels.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The Bears are looking to complete a perfect opening month for the sixth time in the
<b>Scott Drew</b> Era and the third time in the last four seasons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Ranked at No. 9 this week, The Bears have now been ranked in the top-10 for a fifth-straight year, one of just three programs (Duke and Kansas) to accomplish that feat.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Tuesday marks one of just four remaining home games scheduled for the Ferrell Center this season. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU enters Tuesday with 397 wins all-time at the Ferrell Center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The Bears are 3-0 all time against the Colonels, including an 85-56 win last season in Waco.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• All three previous meetings between the two schools have come in the Drew Era.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The Bears come in on a roll winning the first six games of the season including the NIT Season Tip-Off on Friday against Florida. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The win against the Gators gave BU its sixth title in the last seven regular-season tournaments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor is 42-13 in regular-season tournaments during the Drew era<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• With wins over Auburn and Florida, the Bears are 20-11 against SEC opponents during the Drew era, including 15-7 since 2012-13, and six of the last seven meetings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU has won 15 of its last 16 regular-season neutral-site contests.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor's <b>RayJ Dennis </b>poured in 24 points and eight assists against the Gators to earn NIT Season Tip-Off Tournament MVP Honors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• On the heels of his big week in the Big Apple, <b>Dennis</b> was named the Big 12 co-Newcomer of the Week on Monday.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Jalen Bridges</b> hit 5+ three-pointers for the third time in his career en route to 23 points and all-tournament team honors<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Ja'Kobe Walter</b> also garnered all-tournament team honors, highlighted by 24 points and four steals against Oregon State to open the event.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU leads the Big 12 and ranks 10th in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (41.0%)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Walter</b> is averaging 17.8 points per game, which ranks in the top-5 (top-3 in the Power-5) among freshman in Division I.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>•<b> Walter's</b> 107 points are the most through six games by a freshman in program history.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Walter</b> is the first freshman in program history to collect Big 12 Player of the Week honors (11/13).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor is replacing four of its five starters and 68% of its scoring from a season ago. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Only one returning player averaged more than 20-minutes per game last season (<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Jalen</span> Bridges). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU erased a nine-point halftime deficit in the season opener against Auburn to win 88-82 at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The nine-point halftime deficit matched BU's largest halftime deficit overcome in a win since coming back from 11 down to beat Texas in overtime on Feb. 27, 2019 in Waco.<br>
