Madi Williams Earns Big 12 Player of the Week Nod
January 23, 2023 | Women's Basketball
NORMAN – For the second time this season and fifth time in her career, Oklahoma redshirt senior Madi Williams was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week, it was announced by the league on Monday.
Williams was critical in No. 14 Oklahoma's two victories on the week, guiding the conference-leading Sooners (16-2, 6-1) to a 27-point road win over TCU and a comeback win over in-state foe Oklahoma State in Bedlam.
The Fort Worth product averaged 22.5 points on 63% shooting last week, but her all-around performances powered the Sooners in both games. In the win over TCU, Williams was the first Big 12 player since at least 2009 to post 19 points on 80% shooting with five assists while playing under 25 minutes in a conference game. The forward added seven rebounds and three steals in the dominant win over the Frogs. In a double-digit comeback win over Oklahoma State, Williams scored 26 points, 17 of which came in the second half. She added four rebounds and three assists in the winning effort.
Williams is averaging a team-high 16.9 points this year and posts 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Per the Big 12 and Her Hoop Stat, she is the only player in the country to average 27 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per 40 minutes as the projected first-round draft pick is making her case for a host of national awards.
Williams and the Sooners retake the floor on Wednesday when they travel to Austin, Texas, for a matchup between the league's top two teams in the standings. Tip vs. Texas (14-6, 5-2) is slated for 7 p.m. on the Longhorn Network.
