Baylor (15-8, 7-5) is currently tied for fifth place in the league with Kansas. The Bears also played on Saturday, getting a 91-76 home win against UCF.

Fifth-year forward Norchad Omier had a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds. He leads Baylor in both scoring (15.5 points per game) and rebounding (10.5 per game).

Baylor also has one of the conference’s top freshmen in guard VJ Edgecombe, who is averaging 15 points. He had 17 in Saturday’s win.

The Cougars are expected to move up in the national rankings on Monday afternoon, after having been No. 5 in both the Associated Press and USA Today coaches’ polls. Both the top two teams, No. 1 Auburn and No. 2 Duke, each lost on Saturday, so Houston should advance closer to the top.

Regardless of where the Cougars are slotted come Monday, it will be the 100th consecutive week they have been nationally ranked, continuing the longest active streak in the nation.

Houston has four players averaging double figures, led by 14.3 points from guard LJ Cryer. Emanuel Sharp is second at 12.9 points a game, though he sat out last week due to a right ankle injury. He is expected to be back in action Monday night.

Forward J’Wan Roberts, who had 20 points in Saturday’s win, is now averaging 11.4 points while point guard Milos Uzan is averaging 10 a game.
