Miller, Tomlin and Sherfield Capture Men’s Basketball Awards

TCU’s Emanuel Miller was selected as Big 12 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week while K-State’s Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Oklahoma’s Grant Sherfield shared Newcomer of the Week after each scored over 20 points in leading their teams to wins. Sherfield picked up his second award of the season. Miller and Tomlin are first-time honorees.
 
Miller had 21 points, seven rebounds, two steals and a block as TCU won its eighth-straight game with a 75-71 victory at Utah. It was the most points Miller has scored in his two seasons as a Horned Frog. The senior forward was 9-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from 3-point range.
 
Tomlin registered his first 20-point game as a Wildcat with a career-high 26 points in K-State’s 73-65 win over Radford. He connected on 11-of-18 field goals, which included four dunks, to go with a 3-pointer and all three free throws attempted. Tomlin also tied a season-high with nine rebounds along with two blocks, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes. The junior forward has scored in double figures in five consecutive games, averaging 16.4 points in that span.
 
Sherfield led the Sooners with 22 points, including 15 in the second half, in Oklahoma’s 62-53 neutral site victory over Florida. He converted on 7-of-13 from the field and 4-of-6 from the 3-point line, recording four of the Sooners' seven threes. Sherfield also knocked down 4-of-5 free throws and added a pair of rebounds. The senior guard has scored double-digit points in all 12 games and had his fifth 20-plus point game of the season.
