Baylor’s Adam Flagler (player) and K-State’s Keyontae Johnson (newcomer) collected the season’s first Big 12 men’s basketball honors. The award is the second for Flagler in his career.

Flagler led the Conference in field goal percentage (.650/13-20) and 3-point field-goal percentage (.667/8-12) while going 5-for-5 from the charity stripe in Baylor’s undefeated opening week. He averaged 19.5 points and 6.5 assists, putting him in the top four in the Big 12 in six major statistical categories. After two games of 10-plus points, the senior guard has scored in double figures in 24 of his last 26 games and made four-plus 3-pointers in back-to-back games for the second time in his BU career. Flagler opened the season with 21 points, eight assists and a pair of steals against Mississippi Valley. His eight assists were his most since he had a career-high 11 against Northwestern State in December of 2021. Flagler notched 18 points and five assists against Norfolk State while playing a team-high 34 minutes.
 
Johnson made his triumphant return to college basketball after a near two-year absence due to a medical emergency and led K-State to two wins. He posted 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range, to go with four assists and two rebounds in a team-high 26 minutes vs. UTRGV. The senior forward tied his career-high with three made 3-pointers. In the road win at California, Johnson scored a team-high 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting with a game-high nine rebounds and two steals in a team-high 33 minutes.
