Kansas center Taiyanna Jackson is the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the 14th week of the 2022-23 season.
Baylor’s Darianna Littlepage-Buggs is the Big 12 Freshman of the Week.
Jackson won her second Player of the Week honor this season. Littlepage-Buggs was named Freshman of the Week for the sixth time this season, including each of the last four weeks.
Jackson had two double-doubles last week — 13 points and 10 rebounds against TCU and then 24 points and 11 rebounds against Texas Tech. Kansas won both games and evened its league record at 6-6. She averaged 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds for the week.
Littlepage-Buggs became the first Big 12 freshman to earn four consecutive weekly awards since Ayoka Lee (Kansas State) in 2020. She averaged eight points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 steals and two blocks in two losses last week.
Against Oklahoma she had 14 points and 17 rebounds.
Her six Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors ties her with Japreece Dean (Texas Tech, 2015-16) and Imani McGee-Stafford (Texas, 2012-13) for the fifth-most in Conference history.
