TCU will have the reigning Big 12 player of the week on its side against Texas Tech tonight.
Sophomore forward Kouat Noi earned those honors on Monday after a standout week that saw him average 18.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in wins over Texas and Florida.
Noi is the first TCU player to be recognized with that distinction this season. It is also his first-career Big 12 award.
The Australian scored 15 points and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double in TCU’s 65-61 victory over Texas, and then poured in 22 points during TCU’s 55-50 victory over Florida.
