TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. How many double-doubles does Kansas' Thomas Robinson have this year?
A:15
THE MORNING BREW The Big 12's top mid-season players
College basketball's regular season is coming to a close, only being a month away from March Madness. Still, many conferences, such as the Big 12, are only halfway through the season. Players still have time to rise and change their seasons, but here are the Big 12's best at this point.
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD,
KANSAS
This is a no-brainer. Thomas Robinson was expected to be good, but he has been great. The Naismith Player of the Year candidate continues to dominate the Big 12 after an impressive 25-point performance against rival Missouri.
Robinson leads the Big 12 in rebounding with an average 11.9 rebounds per game, which puts him second-best in the nation. Robinson also averages 18 points, good for third in the Big 12. Don't forget the double-doubles. He is the only player to average a double-double in the Big 12. Robinson also recorded 30 points and 21 rebounds against North Dakota. That's the sixth time it happened in Big 12 history and the first player at Kansas since Wayne Hightower in 1961.
As of now, Robinson not only is Big 12 Player of the Year worthy, but he may be the national player of the year.
MARCUS DENMON, GUARD, MISSOURI
Although Denmon's field-goal percentage and three-point percentage have dwindled this year, he still finds a way to put the ball in the hoop.
The senior increased his point production, averaging 17.3 points. Denmon is fifth in the conference in scoring. He also shoots 89 percent from the free-throw stripe, the top in the conference.
In the biggest game of the year for the Tigers, Denmons excelled. Before Kansas, Denmons made only five three-pointers. Against the rival Jayhawks, Denmons exploded with 29 points and six three-pointers to lead the Tigers to victory.
J'COVAN BROWN. GUARD. TEXAS
Brown is the Big 12's best scorer, averaging 20 points. Brown is also in the top 20 players in the nation in points per game.
Throughout the year, Brown has only two games where he didn't finish in double figures. He has the most 30-point games with three. Two games were both on the road against tough competition in Baylor and Missouri.
Brown will be a key player to watch when Texas comes to Lawrence. In the four games against Kansas in his career, Brown averages 23 points against the Jayhawks.
This sophomore transfer can fill the stat sheet. White is the only player in the nation to lead his respective team in
ROYCE WHITE, FORWARD, IOWA STATE
points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals.
He averages 14 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.5
assists, one block and 1.3 steals.
White is among nine players in NCAA Division I with a triple-double and it was the 12th triple-double in Big 12 history.
When Iowa State faced Texas A&M on the road, White became the fourth Cyclone in school history to record a triple-double. He posted 10 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists in the win.
These elite players still have chances to falter, but their performances halfway through the season have been incredible and they are on their way to becoming All-Big 12 selections.
