Norchad Omier - Records 15th double-double Omier totaled 18 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds and two blocks in 36 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 loss to Colorado.
Impact Omier did his part, recording his 15th double-double of the season, leading the Bears with 18 points though it wasn't enough as Baylor fell to a Colorado team that recorded just its second win in conference play. Omier now has seven double-doubles across his last nine games, averaging 17.2 points and 11.0 rebounds during that stretch. Despite his best efforts, Baylor has won just four of those nine games as the Bears find themselves moving dangerously closer to the NCAA tournament bubble.
