<span style="text-transform: none;"><b>HOUSTON</b> – Baylor men's basketball heads to No. 7/6 Houston on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN2 at the Fertitta Center on Houston's Senior Night. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="text-transform: none;"><b>GAME NOTES</b></span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• After a 19-year stall of not facing each other, Houston has taken four of the last five meetings between Baylor.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• The Bears are looking for its first win at Houston since 2002 and its first win against UH since the 2021 Final Four in Indianapolis where BU won 78-59 to go to the national championship.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• The duo of <b>Cameron Carr</b> and <b>Tounde Yessoufou</b> have led the Bears through the season with a combined 1,067 points.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• The two are the first pair of 500+ scorers in a season for BU since 2009-10 with
<b>LaceDarius Dunn</b> (704) and <b>EkpeUdoh</b> (500).</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Carr (19.2 ppg) and Yessoufou’s (17.6 ppg) scoring averages are both the highest by a Baylor player since
<b>Pierre Jackson</b> (19.8 in 2012-13).</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Carr’s 556 points are the most by a Baylor player in their first year since
<b>Vinnie Johnson </b>(1977-78) with 575.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• <b>Yessoufou</b> continues to rewrite the freshman program record book, breaking the freshman record of made field goals with 187, passing the record held since 1975-76 by Larry Spicer.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• At UCF, Yessoufou broke the freshman program record with 511 points, passing
<b>Aaron Bruce</b> (2004-05).</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Yessoufou extends Baylor’s success streak of standout freshman in the record books, with
<b>VJ Edgecombe</b> (2024-25), <b>Ja’Kobe</b> <b>Walter</b> (2023-24), and <b>Keyonte</b> <b>George</b> (2022-23) all making their marks in the last four years.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• <b>Isaac Williams IV</b> owns 16 blocks on the season, the most by a Baylor player 6’4 or shorter since
<b>Willie Sublet </b>(1993-94) who knocked down 38. Williams is first in the nation in players 6’1 or shorter in blocks.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Williams is on a career-best six-game streak with double-figures, averaging 15.3 ppg with a 62.5-FG percentage.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Williams is averaging 5.7 assists in the last six contents with a 3.8 assist/turnover ratio.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• This is March. Baylor is 63-57 in the month of March in the
<b>Scott Drew</b> era.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Baylor went up by 14 at the half at UCF. The Bears have won 89% of its games when leading at the half since 2011-12 (277-33).</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Going south to Houston, BU is 93-33 against in-state opponents since the start of the 2011-12 season.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Carr earned his third Big 12 Starting Five honor after two 26-point performances, leading the Big 12 in scoring.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• In Orlando, Carr put up 20 of his 26 points in the first half to contribute to Baylor’s gritty 87-86 win. The redshirt-sophomore was the first Bear since
<b>King McClure</b> in 2019 to post 20 points in the first half in a Big 12 game.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;"> • Head coach <b>Scott Drew</b> is one win away from 500 career wins with a career record of 499-284.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Kenpom has the Bears holding the No. 2 toughest opponent defensive strength of schedule in the country.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Additionally, BU’s overall strength of schedule ranks as 14th in the nation and 4th in the Big 12.</span><br>
<span style="text-transform: none;">• Baylor is shooting 45.4-percent from the field and averaging 77.0 points in its last five games versus 40.1-percent field goals and an average of 66.8 points in its first five games of the conference season.</span></div>
