TCU’s Olivia Miles (player) and Cincinnati’s Caliyah DeVillasee (freshman) earned Big 12 women’s basketball accolades for the fifth week of the 2025-26 season. Baylor’s Taliah Scott, Kansas’ S’Mya Nichols and K-State’s Jordan Speiser also earned recognition on the Big 12 Starting Five, which highlights strong performances from around the league.
Miles notched a triple-double (15 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds) in TCU’s 90-45 victory over UTEP. It is the first triple-double by a Horned Frog in 14 years and the second by a league player this season. The three-time All-American is now tied for fifth in NCAA women’s basketball history for career triple-doubles with seven. Miles is the first major conference player since at least 2000 to start a season with 10 straight games of at least 15 points and five assists. This is her first Big 12 Player of the Week nod.
DeVillasee delivered a standout week for Cincinnati, averaging 21.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 48.3% from the field during the week. The guard from Owings Mills, Maryland opened the week with a career-best 23 points against Miami (Ohio), adding five rebounds, four assists and two steals. DeVillasee followed with a 20-point performance on 55.6% shooting against Xavier to go with four rebounds and four assists. She becomes the first Big 12 freshman this season to earn two Freshman of the Week awards.
Scott had her first career double-double with 23 points and 10 assists against Southeastern Louisiana. Nichols led KU to two wins while averaging 19 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds. Speiser paced the Wildcats in a win over then-No. 13 Ole Miss with a career-high 19 points, including a 7-of-7 performance from the free throw line.
