Hoping for the best with Baylor big man Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua, but that knee injury didn’t look good at all. Just had to be helped off the court here in Waco. pic.twitter.com/zKX0wuXWyL

The junior had been an important part of the Bears' reserve unit, providing energy and solid ball-screen defense. He entered Saturday's contest averaging 8.6 points and seven boards over 24 appearances this season.
Tchamwa Tchatchoua leads the Big 12 in defensive rebound percentage (26.5%) and owns the NCAA's 11th-best 2-point field goal percentage (70.4%).
He was a member of Baylor's national championship squad last season.
