Obi Agbim - Available for first-round game Agbim (undisclosed) is available for Tuesday's game against Arizona State at Kansas City, according to freelance writer Jordan Majewski.

Impact Despite a brief scare, Agbim will continue his regular role starting with the Baylor backcourt. The last time Agbim played Arizona State, he logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and five rebounds in a close win on Feb. 21. Baylor required Agbim's excellence to edge out ASU then, so it would be unsurprising if the Bears need him to show out again.

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Obi Agbim - Game-time decision Tuesday Agbim (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game at Arizona State.

Impact Baylor's availability report comes with a surprise addition considering there was Agbim upon first release for the Big 12 tournament. In 33.3 minutes of action this season, he logged 10.9 points and 2.4 three-pointers made per game with a 36.0 three-point percentage, so him absent at Arizona State would be huge for the Bears.

Michael Rataj - Contributes off bench Rataj had 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 101-75 victory over Utah.

Impact Rataj closed the regular season with a much-needed strong performance off the bench to help Baylor cruise to victory. The 14-point effort marked his highest point total since Jan 13 and just the second time he's posted double digits in the scoring column against conference opponents. Rataj has seen his role dip of late, failing to see 20 minutes of action in five straight prior to Saturday after having reached that mark in 23 of his first 25 games. In 12 games since moving to the bench, Rataj has averaged 5.5 points and 3.5 boards across 18.6 minutes of action.

Impact Yessoufou matched a season high with six steals and topped 20 points for the second-consecutive game as Baylor rolled to their sixth conference victory. The star freshman added five boards and four assists as he was a significant factor in all phases. Yessoufou finishes the regular season with 12 20-point performances, seven of which have come against Big 12 foes. Time will tell if Yessoufou ends up as a one-and-done performer at Baylor but no matter his future, he goes into next week's conference tournament with averages of 18.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.1 steals across 32.2 minutes through 31 games.

Impact Yessoufou ripped down a season high in boards while reaching the 20-point mark for the 11th time to collect his first double double of the season. It was an impressive performance, especially considering the competition as the 6-foot-5 freshman also contributed defensively with a couple of steals and a block. With just one game remaining prior to the conference tournament, Yessoufou is closing the season strong, averaging 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals over his last 12 games.

Impact Agbim matched a season high with seven assists and added 12 points with none bigger than a free throw with one tick remaining to provide the one-point margin of victory.

It was just the second time in six games Agbim had reached double figures in the scoring column and the first time during that stretch he's dished out more than three assists.
