Star performance falls just short George contributed 27 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 88-87 loss to TCU.

Impact George put the Big 12 on notice with this season-high-scoring performance. The 6-foot-4 true freshman's relatively high shooting efficiency combined with a season high in three-throw attempts netted him the game's second-most points behind TCU guard Mike Miles (33). George had a chance to cap off this career night with a driving layup attempt at the rim with one second remaining, but this would-be game-winner was blocked from behind by Horned Frogs forward Xavier Cork. Nevertheless, the team's decision to put the ball in his hands at the end of the game is a testament to George's role as the top scorer. George has now averaged 16.4 points on a team-high 13.2 field-goal attempts per game, and he'll continue to carry a heavy burden alongside senior Adam Flagler and junior LJ Cryer.

No. 12 Baylor visits the Iowa State Cyclones after Keyonte George scored 21 points in the Bears' 85-56 victory over the Nicholls State Colonels

Continues prolific scoring George produced 21 points (5-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 85-56 victory over Nicholls.

Impact George has now logged more than 20 points in four of 12 games this season. The freshman is second on the Bears in scoring (15.6) this season, sitting just slightly behind senior guard Adam Flagler (16.1). However, George is still looking to establish his consistency as a scorer with just a 39 percent field-goal percentage on 12.8 attempts per game. This shooting inefficiency could become a bigger problem once Baylor begins Big 12 play versus Iowa State on Saturday.

Hot shooting performance in win George amassed 18 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 64-63 victory over Gonzaga.

Impact George logged a game high in points during this relatively low-scoring battle between two of the nation's top-ranked teams. Coming off the team's worst loss of the season against Marquette, the freshman also shot just above his average from beyond the arc to help establish an early lead, and he also grabbed the team's second-most boards behind forward Flo Thamba (eight). George has struggled with his shooting efficiency over the first eight games of his collegiate career, but he still sits third on the team in points per game (14.9) behind senior Adam Flagler (16.1) and junior L.J. Cryer (16.5).

Impact George has now logged double-digit points in each of his first three collegiate games, though his overall shooting efficiency sits at just 42.1 percent on 12.7 field-goal attempts per game. The 6-foot-4 freshman may need to improve his efficiency if Baylor wants to take down fellow heavyweight Virginia in Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact George took on a starting role to begin his freshman season at Baylor and scored in double figures during the blowout win despite shooting just 30.8 percent from the floor. George was the highest-ranked recruit in program history and should continue to play a significant role for Baylor now that the regular season is underway.
