Norchad Omier - College Basketball News & Rumors

Career comes to disappointing end Omier registered 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 89-66 loss to Duke.

Impact Omier finished his career by falling just one rebound shy of his 11th-consecutive double-double. The outgoing senior was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Bears and will next test the professional waters after averaging a double-double during each of his five collegiate campaigns.

Records 90th career double-double Omier posted 12 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 75-72 win over Mississippi State.

Impact Omier struggled from the floor but still managed to post his 10th-consecutive double-double while playing all 40 minutes during Baylor's three-point win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The senior forward stands second all-time in double-doubles, with Thursday's performance representing the 90th of his career, including 22 this season. Omier is a 55.8-percent shooter from the floor this season and will be needed to match or exceed that mark if the ninth-seeded Bears are to have a chance against top-seed Duke in the second round.

Posts massive double-double Omier chipped in 29 points (12-18 FG, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 76-74 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Omier dominated down low, scoring a season-high 29 points while pulling down at least 15 boards for the fourth time this season. It was Omier's ninth-consecutive double-double and his 21st such performance of the season. Unfortunately for Omier, it wasn't quite enough to get Baylor over the hump as Texas Tech's JT Toppin nearly matched him blow-for-blow. The slumping Bears will now sweat things out on Selection Sunday as the preseason eight-ranked team in the land now resides firmly on the tournament bubble.

Seventh straight double-double Omier racked up 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one block across 38 minutes during Saturday's 65-61 loss to Houston.

Impact Even against a tough Houston frontcourt, Omier managed his seventh-straight double-double -- a streak over which he's averaged 15.3 points and 12.1 rebounds. Despite Omier's recent play, Baylor has lost four of six to close out the regular season, though the Bears still appear to be on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble heading into next week's Big 12 tournament.

Jeremy Roach scored 21 points, Norchad Omier had a double-double and Baylor beat Oklahoma State 71-61 to end a three-game losing streak

MARCH 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Double-double machine Omier registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 71-61 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Omier took just six shots but managed to churn out 10 points en route to another double-double as Baylor earned the much-needed victory. Omier has now tallied double-doubles in five straight games, eight of his last nine and has 17 total through 29 games this season. The win snapped a three-game losing streak by the Bears, who should still be safely on the right side of the bubble when selection Sunday rolls around in two weeks. If Baylor is to turn things around and fulfill their preseason expectations by going on a run through the postseason, Omier will be relied upon to be a major factor.

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.

Records 13th double-double Omier recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 74-71 OT victory over West Virginia.

Impact Omier collected his fifth double-double in the last seven games and 13th of the season during Baylor's OT win over West Virginia. The senior forward added four steals and a block defensively and managed 36 minutes in the overtime affair despite fouling out late. Omier is averaging a double-double this season with 15.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game but has increased his production over the last seven, averaging 17.4 points, 10.7 boards and 1.4 steals across 34.7 minutes as the Bears have alternated wins and losses through those seven contests.

Nearly perfect from field Omier notched 19 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 37 minutes during Monday's 76-65 loss to Houston.

Impact Omier missed just one shot en route to leading the Bears with 19 points during Monday's loss. The senior forward connected on a season-best 88.9-percent of his field-goal attempts while also grabbing five boards. The low rebounding total broke a string of three-consecutive games with a double-double. While the Bears have struggled a bit more than expected this season, standing unranked with a 15-9 record, Omier has fulfilled every expectation since arriving from Miami in the offseason, averaging 15.7 points and 10.3 boards through 24 games.
