Iowa State’s Izaiah Brockington collected his sixth Conference honor of the season as he earned his second-consecutive Big 12 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week. Texas’ Timmy Allen captured his first award as Newcomer of the Week. Brockington was dominant in leading the Cyclones to a pair of wins. He averaged 26.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals, while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor (20-36) and 50 percent behind the arc (6-12). Against West Virginia, the senior guard recorded a career-high 35 points, making 14-of-22 shots and a career-best five 3-pointers on eight attempts. He scored 25 second-half points as ISU rallied from a 12-point deficit. Brockington followed that performance with 17 points, eight rebounds and two assists against K-State, helping lift ISU to a fourth-straight win.
Allen led Texas to a pair of double-digit second-half comeback wins as he averaged 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.7 minutes per game. He converted 66.7 percent from the floor (12-18) and hit 19-of-24 (.792) free throws in the two victories.
