BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Iowa State's Tinsley garners Big 12 honor
AMES. Iowa — Forget the points, assists, steals and Jamaal Tinsley's other stats.
These are the most important numbers for the Iowa State point guard — 57-9 and two. The first figure is Iowa State's record in Tinsley's two seasons on the team. The second is the number of Big 12 Conference regular season championships the Cyclones have won in that time.
That's why Tinsley was named the Big 12 Conference player of the year yesterday.
"I haven't seen every game that's ever been played," said Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy, who was named the Big 12's coach of the year. "But I don't know who ever in the history of Iowa State has impacted winning more than Jamaal Tinsley."
Tinsley was an overwhelming choice for the award by a media panel, receiving 18 of the 21 votes after leading Iowa State to a 25-4 regular-season record. Oklahoma State's Maurice Baker got two votes and Missouri's Kareem Rush one.
Baker, who transferred from Dixie College in Utah, was chosen the
league's newcomer of the year. Iowa State's Jake Sullivan was named freshman of the year.
