Preview: BYU Looks to Halt Skid at Baylor in Big 12 Clash WACO, Texas (Interstat) — The BYU Cougars aim to snap a four-game losing streak when they visit the Baylor Bears in a pivotal Big 12 Conference men’s basketball matchup Tuesday night at the Ferrell Center. BYU (16-6, 4-5 Big 12) enters on a slide after a 77-66 home loss to Houston last Saturday, part of a difficult stretch against ranked league foes. The Cougars’ offense, however, remains potent, averaging 84.2 points per game, led by star freshman AJ Dybantsa. Dybantsa has been a bright spot during the skid, averaging 26.3 points over the last four contests. He poured in 28 points against Houston and a season-high 43 in a win over Utah on Jan. 24. His scoring prowess will be central to BYU’s hopes of steadying its season. Baylor (13-10, 5-5) looks to build momentum after a narrow 72-69 road loss at Iowa State. The Bears have shown resilience, winning two of their last three, including an 86-67 rout of Colorado. They are 9-3 at home this season. Guard Cameron Carr powers the Bears, coming off a 24-point, six-rebound effort at Iowa State. Over his last five games, Carr is averaging 18.6 points, 5.6 assists and 5.2 rebounds, providing a versatile counterpoint to Dybantsa. This marks the only regular-season meeting between the programs. Baylor’s defense, allowing 71.7 points per game, will be tested by BYU’s high-tempo, perimeter-oriented attack, which ranks among national leaders in 3-point attempts. For BYU, a win is crucial to stop its fall in the conference standings and protect its NCAA Tournament resume. Baylor seeks a signature win to bolster its own postseason aspirations, making this a high-stakes February showdown in the deep Big 12. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST.
