\nFORT WORTH, Texas\u00a0\u2013 Baylor men’s basketball faces top-25 opponent Louisville in a neutral site non-conference game in Dickies Arena on Saturday at 3 p.m. CT, broadcasted on ESPN.<\/p>\n

GAME NOTES

\n\u2022 This will be only the second time the two teams have met in program history, the last being also in a neutral-site game in the Battle 4 Atlantis Championships on Nov. 25, 2016 where the Bears won 66-63.

\n\u2022 BU is coming off a 99-94 loss to No. 22 BYU, where freshman Tounde Yessoufou<\/a> had a standout game with 37 points, going 12-for-19 from the field with six rebounds, three assists and one steal.

\n\u2022 Yessoufou earned a career-best in points (37), FGs (12), FGA (19) and 3FGs (5) in his 40-minute performance.

\n\u2022 Yessoufou’s 37 points are the most by any Baylor player against a ranked team in program history.

\n\u2022 It was the most points put up by a freshman since since LaceDarius Dunn (38) vs. Texas Tech (3\/8\/08).

\n\u2022 BYU’s AJ Dybantsa (36) and Baylor’s Yessoufou (37) are the first opposing freshmen to score at least 35 points in the same D-I game in 12 years.

\n\u2022 Wednesday was the first time ever there were three 30-point scorers in a game involving at least one Big 12 team.

\n\u2022 Baylor is shooting 45.9-percent from the field and averaging 73.8 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.\u00a0

\n\u2022 Yessoufou is the only Division I freshman this season to be averaging at least 15.0 points and 2.0 steals per game. The only Big 12 freshmen ever to do it are VJ Edgecombe<\/a> (2024-25), Marcus Smart (2012-13) and Maurice Baker (2000-01).

\n\u2022 Undefeated with halftime leads, Baylor has won 90-percent of its games (279-37) when leading at the half in the last 14 seasons and is 13-0 this season when taking the halftime advantage.\u00a0

\n\u2022 The Bears are 94-5 (.949) over the last 10 seasons when hitting at least 50.0 percent from the field, sixth best in Division I (min. 20 games).

\n\u2022 Cameron Carr<\/a> was recognized on the Big 12 Starting Five for his performances against CU and ISU.

\n\u2022 Through two games, Carr played all but four minutes was fifth in the league in scoring with 43 points, averaging 21.5. Carr put up double-figures in both games, with 24 at #7 ISU, just four points shy of tying his career-best. His 24 points was a conference season-best, which contributed to tying his career-high in made threes (5) and three-field goal attempts (10).

\n\u2022 After a slow start in conference play, Obi Agbim<\/a> strung together five-consecutive double-digit scoring games, combining for 79 points and hitting 29-of-70 (.414) from the field from 1\/24-2\/7. Against the Buffaloes, Agbim scored a season-high 19 points, added six assists and had his third block of the season.

\n\u2022 In Big 12 play, BU has outrebounded its opponent in nine out of 12 conference games this season, averaging 34.8 rebounds per game and 11.2 offensive rebounds per game in the conference season.<\/p>\n
