Norchad Omier made history Saturday night, becoming the 13th player in NCAA history with 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds as Baylor knocked off Utah at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, 76-61.
The fifth-year big man paced the Bears in scoring (22 points) and on the glass (12 rebounds), as he has for much of the season. Alongside freshman wing VJ Edgecombe (21 points, 6 rebounds), the team’s top two scorers combined to shoot 51.9% from the field and 6-for-9 from three.
