IRVING, Texas -- For the second-straight week, Texas Tech's Japreece Dean has been named the Big 12 Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week, sharing the honor with Iowa State's Bridget Carleton, the conference office announced on Monday.The winners are selected by a vote of a media panel that covers the Big 12.
Dean averaged 11.7 points, four rebounds and 3.7 assists over Texas Tech's three wins last week. She recorded her second 20-point performance in as many weeks, which came against Grambling State.
Dean went 8-13 from the floor against the Tigers, 1-2 from the three-point line and 3-3 from the foul line to get to 20 points. She was perfect from the charity stripe in the three games, hitting all seven of her attempts.
Dean is the first Lady Raider to win this award in back-to-back weeks since Dominic Seals, in 2008. Dean (11.1 ppg) is one of four Lady Raiders averaging double figures in scoring this season.
Dean and the Lady Raiders begin conference play on Dec. 30, against TCU. Tipoff at United Supermarkets Arena is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on FOX Sports Southwest Plus.
