BYU’s Barber, ISU’s Brown and TCU’s Van Lith Collect Big 12 Women’s Basketball Weekly Recognition – 02/03/25 02:00 PM
Iowa State’s Addy Brown (co-player), TCU’s Hailey Van Lith (co-player) and BYU’s Kambree Barber (freshman) earned Big 12 women’s basketball weekly awards for their play during the 13th week of the season.

Brown posted a career-high 31 points against No. 9 TCU to go along with six rebounds and five assists. Earlier in the week, Brown poured in 20 points, her eighth 20-plus point performance of the season, on the road against then-No. 11 K-State. The sophomore from Derby, Kansas averaged 25.5 points per game during the week while shooting 70.4% from the field and 77.8% from three. This is the 2024 All-Big 12 Freshman Team member’s first Conference Player of the Week recognition.

Van Lith paired a season-high 28 points with eight assists and five rebounds in the Horned Frogs’ 82-69 win at Iowa State. The USA Basketball 3×3 Female Athlete of the Year scored seven of TCU’s first 13 points to spark a 13-2 run to open the game. Van Lith finished the game with an 8.0 assist-to-turnover ratio and has produced an A/TO of 2.5 or better 11 times this season. The Olympic bronze medalist’s efforts lifted the Horned Frogs to their first victory over the Cyclones in the last five years and helped claim the first career weekly Big 12 honor for Van Lith.

After missing BYU’s midweek game against Colorado due to injury, Barber earned her first career start against Arizona State and put up a career-high 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting. The Rigby, Idaho native grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds en route to her first career double-double while adding three assists, two blocks and a steal in the Cougars’ 77-67 win over the Sun Devils. Barber was the only league freshman to record a double-double during the week and led all league in rebounds per game and blocks per game while tying for the lead in points per game.
