After leading Oklahoma State to an upset of seventh-ranked Kansas, senior point guard Kendall Smith was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
Smith, a graduate transfer from Cal State-Northridge, scored a season-high 24 points with five assists and five rebounds in the Cowboys' 84-79 victory at Allen Fieldhouse. He had 10 of OSU's final 14 points, including a pair of free throws with 10.2 seconds left that clinched the game.
After missing a game with the flu, Smith returned to the court Tuesday against TCU and finished with 13 points off the bench.
