Michael Rataj

ANALYSIS
Rataj recorded his third double double of the season, shooting 70-percent from the floor including draining both of his attempts from long range as Baylor cruised to the win. The senior forward, whose 18 points matched a season high, also equaled a season-best effort with five assists. Rataj has averaged 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 56.7-percent from the floor and 66.7-percent from three-point range over his last four performances. He'll look to finish the non-conference portion of the schedule on a high note when Baylor takes on Southern on Sunday in their final game prior to the start of conference play.
