IRVING, Texas -- Courtney Paris was named Phillips 66 Big 12 Co-Player of the Week. The award, announced the conference office Monday, was chosen by a media voting panel for performances for games of Feb. 5 through Feb. 11.

Paris averaged 27.5 points and 15.5 rebounds as she powered the Sooners past Missouri and Colorado.

Iowa State's Alison Lacey, who averaged 23 points, six rebounds and five assists in wins against Texas Tech and Missouri, shared the honor with Paris.

Paris earned player of the week honors for the second time this season and ninth time in her career. She has shared the honor with another player five times.
