To the victors go the spoils — and the awards.
On Sunday, the Big 12 announced its all-conference teams and end-of-season awards as voted on by the league’s coaches. It was little surprise that none of the 9th-placed Cowboys where recognized when the hardware was doled out.
There was also nothing too shocking to announce. Texas Tech’s Chris Beard earned Coach of the Year, and his star Jarrett Culver won the league’s Player of the Year Award.
But a couple of Pokes were mentioned (honorably) once the all-conference first and second teams were completed.
