Baylor Guard- #4 Ja'Kobe Walter
Baylor has had a solid amount of success this season in a very challenging Big 12 conference. Freshman guard Ja'Kobe Walter has been the driving force behind their recent success. The 6 '5'' 180 lb. guard has been excellent thus far for this Baylor team.
He currently leads the team in average scoring and has been one of the team's most consistent shooters. Walter is a great wing player who can knock down shots from almost anywhere. He has always been a great player, but this season, he has evolved into an even better player. Both his offensive and defensive games have improved tremendously. The freshman can impact this game greatly. The Horned Frogs need to take his shot away from him if they want to win this game.
If TCU can do this, they will have a great chance at this game. However, Walter has been scoring quite a bit in his freshman campaign. The Horned Frogs must come out strong in this matchup against the Bears.
Other Players To Watch For:
- Freshman Center- #21 Yves Missi
- Leads team in average rebounds (6.1) and steals (1.4)
- Senior Guard- #10 RayJ Dennis
- Leads team in average assists (6.4) and second in average scoring (12.7)
- Junior Guard- #2 Jayden Nunn
- Leads team in average steals (1.3)
