March 07, 2022 | Women's Basketball
NORMAN – Highlighted by unanimous first-team honors for Taylor Robertson and Madi Williams, Oklahoma was well represented in the 2021-22 Phillips 66 All-Big 12 women's basketball awards, it was announced by the league Monday. In total, four Sooners earned conference honors as voted on by the league's coaches.
In addition to Robertson and Williams' first-team selections, Skylar Vann was named the conference's Sixth Player of the Year and Kelbie Washington earned a spot on the All-Freshman team. The Sooners were the league's only team with two unanimous first-team selections.
It's the second consecutive unanimous first-team honor for Williams, whose 17.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game lead the team. The senior from Fort Worth was a unanimous selection to the preseason All-Big 12 team at the start of the season. The Cheryl Miller Award top-10 finalist joins Iowa's Caitlin Clark as one of two Power Five players to average 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Williams tallied eight double-doubles on the season and moved into seventh all-time at Oklahoma in the category, as well as becoming the 14th Sooner all-time to hit 1,500 career points as she enters the postseason ninth in all-time scoring at OU.
Robertson, who broke the OU and Big 12 3-point record this season, earned her first career first-team honor in unanimous fashion. The nation's leader in made 3-pointers this season with 110 is the only player in Big 12 history to post three seasons with 100 3-pointers. The McPherson, Kan., product was a second-team selection as a junior and is an Ann Meyers-Drysdale finalist in 2022. In addition, she set career-high marks in both rebounds (4.6) and assists (3.2) as she led the Sooners with 7.6 win shares. Robertson enters the postseason eighth in all-time scoring for Oklahoma and 65 3-pointers shy of tying the NCAA record.
It's the first time since 2012 that Oklahoma placed two student-athletes on the league's All-Conference First Team.
Skylar Vann earned the Big 12's Sixth Player of the Year honor by being the only player in the country to average 12.0 points and 5.5 rebounds with one start or less while still playing in every game. The sophomore from Edmond, Okla., cemented herself into the Oklahoma rotation early in the year and was critical in the Sooners' Jan. 12 win over Baylor, scoring a career-high 22 points and posting seven rebounds, four steals, three assists and three blocks in the victory. She becomes the fourth Sooner to win the honor, following in the footsteps of Nyeshia Stevenson (2009), Sharane Campbell (2012) and Vionise Pierre-Louis (2016).
Freshman Kelbie Washington posted a stellar first year in Norman by leading the Sooners with 104 assists, tied with Dionnah Jackson for the fourth most for an OU freshman in program history. The Norman High School product's 3.9 assists per game are the fourth most all-time for an OU freshman. She posted 11 points, 14 assists, six rebounds and five steals in the Sooners' win over Wichita State, becoming the first Division I freshman to post that line in over a decade en route to earning USBWA National Freshman of the Week honors. In addition, she finished the year with a pair of Big 12 Freshman of the Week accolades.
Oklahoma is amidst its best season in five years and reached 20 wins faster than all but two teams (2002 and 2009) in program history. Under first-year coach Jennie Baranczyk's leadership, the Sooners ascended into the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2017, reaching as high as No. 12 in the poll. Oklahoma (23-7, 12-6) was tabbed as the No. 21 team in the country on Monday and is on the cusp of hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
Baranczyk and the Sooners open postseason play as the No. 4 seed at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship at 11 a.m. Friday when they take on No. 5-seeded Kansas at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
