Monday is, of course, weekly awards day at the Big 12 offices, and all three of K-State’s primary teams were represented on this fine afternoon. All three players are newcomers to Manhattan, transferring in during the summer.
The Big 12’s women’s basketball player of the week is Oklahoma transfer Gabby Gregory, who followed a 19-point effort in the season opener against Central Arkansas with a big 25-point outing to help lead the Wildcats back from a 10-point first quarter deficit to knock off Wisconsin 77-63 in a “neutral site” game in Milwaukee over the weekend.
On the other side of Bramlage, Keyontae Johnson earned Big 12 newcomer of the week honors after leading the Wildcats to a 2-0 start with 13 points against Texas-Rio Grande Valley and then 16 on the road at California.
