Dean Wade came up big in the clutch for Kansas State last week, and now he’s receiving a Big 12 honor for it.
The Kansas State freshman was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Monday, recognizing his 17-point performance in a 68-66 win over Georgia on the road this past Friday.
The 6-foot-10 forward from St. John scored 16 of his 17 points in the second half on 6of-8 shooting, including one 3-pointer over 13 minutes.
Wade made a basket with just less than a minute to play to put the Wildcats ahead 66-65, and then nailed another long jumper with 4.
