Tounde Yessoufou scored a career-high 27 points as Baylor defeated Sacramento State 110-88 in Waco, Texas on Tuesday night.

Yessoufou, the five-star freshman who entered the night second on the team in scoring, added six rebounds and four steals in his 28 minutes.

Six Bears reached double figures as Baylor (6-1) dominated in points in the paint 60-26.

Cameron Carr had 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Michael Rataj (18 points, 10 rebounds) and Dan Skillings Jr. (12 points, 14 rebounds) each collected double-doubles.

Isaac Williams (11) and Obi Agbim (10) also reached double figures for the Bears.

Mikey Williams and Prophet Johnson paced Sacramento State (4-6) with 21 points apiece. Jahni Summers pitched in 12 and Mark Lavrenov had 10 for the Hornets, who have lost four of five while being been blown out in each of their highest-profile contests. The Hornets were previously dominated in Power 5 matchups with Cal (91-67) and UCLA (79-48).

After carrying a 52-47 lead into the break, the Bears took control early in the second half. They outscored the Hornets 13-7 over the first four-and-a-half minutes with Yessoufou scoring seven during the run.

Baylor’s lead ballooned to 83-63 with 9:09 to go when Yessoufou converted his fourth steal of the game into a layup.

The Bears broke 100 on the first of two Carr free throws with 3:58 left, going up 101-74 on his second make.

A 9-0 run over 1:34 gave the Hornets a surprising 14-5 advantage, forcing a Baylor timeout before the first media timeout. Jahni Summers drilled a 3-pointer, Johnson hit two and Shaqir O’Neill added a 3-pointer to make it 14-5.

Baylor closed to within 20-18 at the 12:15 mark as Yessoufou capped a 5-0 run with a steal and a layup.

The Bears took the lead at 37-36 on Yessoufou’s layup with 4:18 left, their first lead since holding a 3-2 edge in the opening moments.

The teams traded baskets until six straight points to end the half provided Baylor its biggest lead to that point at 52-47. Skillings and Williams hit layups, then Yessoufou collected an offensive rebound and hit his putback at the buzzer.

Yessoufou led Baylor with 13 first-half points. Williams paced all scorers with 18 as the Hornets made 7 of 17 3-pointers (41%) in the half.

Deadspin | Qualifier Adolfo Daniel Vallejo stuns Grigor Dimitrov in Madrid Grigor Dimitrov is visibly frustrated during his loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., March 7, 2026. Qualifier Adolfo Daniel Vallejo of Paraguay won in his ATP Masters 1000 debut as he set aside Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-4 on Thursday to reach the second round of the Madrid Open. Vallejo, 21, is just the second Paraguayan to register a Masters 1000 win since the series began in 1990. The other was Ramon Delgado at Indian Wells in 2010. Vallejo saved 5 of 6 break points while dispatching the Bulgarian in 94 minutes. “It is unbelievable. It feels like a movie,” Vallejo said afterward. “I don’t know what is happening. I used to watch (Dimitrov) and all the highlights of him. All the points he did against me today, I used to watch on TV. “Now to play against him, wow. I can’t understand what is happening but I am just trying to enjoy it.” Vallejo was leading 5-2 in the second set before Dimitrov put up a fight by winning the next two games. Vallejo then won the 10th game to seal his big accomplishment. Vallejo converted 37 of 49 first-serve points (75.5%) while Dimitrov committed 27 unforced errors, nine more than Vallejo. Vallejo will face American 17th seed Learner Tien in the second round. Frenchman Gael Monfils played in his final match in Madrid and fell 6-3, 6-4 to Argentina’s Camilo Ugo Carabelli. Monfils reached the quarterfinals at the event in 2008 and 2010. “Tough match for me, I would have liked to do better for my last time in Madrid,” Monfils said on-court. Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas rallied for a 3-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) victory over American Patrick Kypson. Tsitsipas had 46 winners to 28 for Kypson. Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta recovered to knock off Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2. Fucsovics lost despite a 9-3 edge in aces. Qualifier Martin Damm posted a 7-6 (7), 6-4 victory over Australia’s Alexei Popyrin, but fellow American Reilly Opelka was forced to retire in his first set due to a right shoulder injury. Opelka was behind 5-3 to Norway’s Nicolai Budkov Kjaer when he decided he couldn’t continue. Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan knocked off Ethan Quinn 7-6 (5), 7-6 (6) and Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann outlasted Marcos Giron 6-4, 6-7 (3), 7-5. Other winners include Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo and Mariano Navone, Australia’s Adam Walton, Belgium’s Alexander Blockx, France’s Terence Atmane, Lithuania’s Vilius Gaubas and Spain’s Daniel Merida and Jaume Munar. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Qualifier #Adolfo #Daniel #Vallejo #stuns #Grigor #Dimitrov #MadridGrigor Dimitrov is visibly frustrated during his loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., March 7, 2026.

Deadspin | Tyler Glasnow dominates as Dodgers blank Giants Apr 23, 2026; San Francisco, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (31) pitches the ball against the San Francisco Giants during the sixth inning at Oracle Park. Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-Imagn Images Tyler Glasnow allowed just one hit in eight shutout innings, Tanner Scott threw a scoreless ninth and the Los Angeles Dodgers avoided a three-game series sweep with a 3-0 victory over the host San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon. Max Muncy scored twice, while Dalton Rushing and Hyeseong Kim drove in runs for the Dodgers, who completed a 3-4 trip to Colorado and San Francisco. Glasnow (3-0) improved his record to 4-0 with a 2.43 ERA in five career starts in San Francisco in dominant fashion, striking out nine before handing the ball to Scott after throwing 105 pitches. The Giants’ only hit off the right-hander was delivered by Luis Arraez leading off the fourth inning. He was immediately erased when Glasnow got Matt Chapman to ground into a double play. San Francisco’s only other baserunner in the game came in the first inning when Arraez walked. He stole second with one out, but was stranded there when Chapman and Rafael Devers struck out. The Dodgers opened the scoring off Giants starter Logan Webb (2-3) in the second when Muncy walked, took second on an infield out and raced home on Rushing’s two-out single to center. Los Angeles made it 3-0 in the fourth when Kyle Tucker doubled and scored on a throwing error by Giants center fielder Drew Gilbert after fielding a double by Muncy. Two outs later, Kim singled home Muncy. Glasnow walked just one in his eight innings. Scott needed just 13 pitches to record a 1-2-3 ninth and pick up his first save. Between the two pitchers, they faced just 28 batters – one over the minimum. Tucker and Kim had two hits apiece for the Dodgers, who went the entire series in San Francisco without a home run. In fact, the visitors had only one extra-base hit — a double — in series-opening 3-1 and 3-0 losses before the back-to-back two-baggers by Tucker and Muncy. Webb worked seven innings, allowing three runs and seven hits. He walked two and struck out five. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Tyler #Glasnow #dominates #Dodgers #blank #GiantsApr 23, 2026; San Francisco, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (31) pitches the ball against the San Francisco Giants during the sixth inning at Oracle Park.
