Waters Becomes Third Cowboy To Win Big 12 Weekly Hoops Award
February 06, 2017 | Cowboy Basketball
STILLWATER โ Oklahoma State freshman guard Lindy Waters III was named the Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week after helping the Cowboys pick up a pair of road wins at Oklahoma and No. 7 West Virginia.
A perfect 5-of-5 from 3-point last week, Waters gave the Cowboys the lead with 4:36 to play with a 3-pointer from the right of the key at Oklahoma, and his 3-pointer from the left of the key at No. 7 West Virginia pushed the OSU lead to five with 3:08 remaining.
Waters plays with composure well beyond his age, which is evidenced by his 6-of-7 (.857) shooting performance last week. He had 11 points at the rival Sooners and six points at West Virginia, but turned the ball over just once during the week.
Waters shared the Newcomer of the Week award with TCU's Alex Robinson. Deonte Burton of Iowa State was named the Player of the Week.
Waters is the third Cowboy to take home a Big 12 weekly award this season. He joins two-time Big 12 Player of the Week Jawun Evans (Dec. 5 and Jan. 30), as well as freshman point guard Brandon Averette, who was named the league's Newcomer of the Week on Dec. 12.
