Littlepage-Buggs Picks Up Second-Straight Big 12 Freshman of the Week Honor

IRVING, Texas – For the second-straight week, and fourth time this season, Baylor women’s basketball’s Darianna Littlepage-Buggs has been tabbed the Big 12 Freshman of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.

The Edmond, Okla., native became the first rookie in the league to earn the award four times this year and is the first Bear to be recognized on four occasions since Lauren Cox collected the honor just as many times during the 2016-17 campaign.

In a 20-point win at Texas Tech on Saturday, Littlepage-Buggs logged her team-leading eighth double-double, finishing with a team-high 16 points and 10 rebounds. Her eight double-doubles are the most among rookies in the Big 12 and tied for the third most in the conference.

Littlepage-Buggs shot a league-best 83.3% (5-for-6) from the floor and went a career-best 6-for-8 from the charity stripe. The forward added three blocks, an assist and a steal in 26 minutes of action.

Baylor returns to action on Wednesday when it hosts Kansas at 7 p.m. inside the Ferrell Center.
