Stands out on both ends Omier finished Wednesday's 94-69 victory over Norfolk State with 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals over 26 minutes.

Impact Omier's 19 points represented the most he's scored in the last four games while the five steals matched a career high initially set in 2021 while a member of Arkansas State. The senior forward has shot 14-17 (82.4 percent) from the floor over the last two games and is shooting 62.4 percent on the season, averaging 15.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks across 27.9 minutes per contest.

Continues to impress Omier chipped in 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 77-62 loss to Tennessee.

Impact On a night when most of his teammates not named VJ Edgecombe struggled, Omier continues to shine, needing just 10 shots to amass 22 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double through six games this season. The senior forward has proven why he was such a coveted addition from the transfer portal and is justifying his standing as one of the early contenders for Big 12 player of the year, averaging 16.5 points (60.9 percent), 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks across 30.5 minutes per contest.

Leads team with 24 and 10 Omier racked up 24 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 2OT win over St. John's.

Impact Omier posted season-highs in shot attempts with 18 and points with 24 while earning his third double-double of the young campaign. The senior forward also contributed three steals and a block on the defensive end. Omier has posted at least nine boards in every game this season and has scored at least 15 in all but one, with the lone exception coming in a 63-point blowout win that saw him take just three shots.

Notches another double-double Omier recorded 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 104-67 victory over Sam Houston.

Impact Omier, a double-double machine, pulled the trick again Tuesday with an 18 point, 10 rebound effort. The senior forward has averaged a double-double in every season of his career and is off to a similar start this season, averaging 16.0 points and 10.3 rebounds through three games while falling just one rebound shy in the opening game against Gonzaga of having gone 3-for-3 in the double-double department to start the season. Omier was a first-round pick in many fantasy leagues this season and has lived up to that billing thus far.

Dominates down low Omier posted 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 72-67 victory over Arkansas.

Impact Omier showed off why the Bears made him a priority add in the portal during the offseason, posting his first double-double with the club after having contributed 17 such efforts with Miami last season. Omier was one of the few Bears to play well during their blowout loss to Gonzaga despite struggling from the floor by shooting 41.7% in that contest. The senior shot 57.4% and 55.2% in his two seasons with Miami and showed off his traditional efficiency Saturday by converting on seven of 10 shots.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Bears in debut Omier ended with 15 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 101-63 loss to Gonzaga.

Impact Omier began his Baylor career by finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. The Bears struggled in just about every aspect Monday as Gonzaga controlled the game from the jump and even in spite of his solid final line, Omier, who has topped 55% shooting over each of the past three seasons, missed on seven of 12 shot attempts. The senior transfer from Miami has averaged a double-double during each of his previous four collegiate seasons and is expected to provide a mammoth inside presence for the Bears, who are one of the favorites in the rugged Big 12.

Withdraws from NBA Draft Omier is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and will play for Baylor in the 2024-25 season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact After the past two seasons with Miami, Omier transferred to Baylor earlier in May while also keeping the option of the 2024 NBA Draft on the table. The 6-foot-7 forward has decided he will return to the collegiate level with the Bears after averaging 17.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 steals on 30.6 minutes per game with the Hurricanes this past season.

Ends regular season strong Omier scored 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding 17 rebounds, one assist, three blocks, and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 83-75 loss to Florida State.

Impact Omier finished the regular season with back-to-back double-doubles, and the forward was one of Miami's most productive players all campaign long, with a solid argument to say he was their best player. He averaged 17.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game in the regular season, and he'll aim to lead the Hurricanes in the ACC Tournament in their debut against Boston College on Tuesday.

Records another double-double Omier had 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 67-57 loss to Boston College.

Impact The entire Miami offense struggled in this double-digit loss to the Eagles, but Omier salvaged his fantasy stat line by recording his 15th double-double of the season. With one game left before the ACC Tournament, Omier is averaging 17.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. As good as those numbers are, this has been the first year in Omier's college career where he isn't averaging a double-double.
