Olivia Miles Earns Weekly Big 12 Award

Olivia Miles snagged another award after record-setting performances in No. 8 TCU women’s basketball’s wins over Incarnate Word and UTEP last week. 

Miles was named Big 12 Player of the Week for the fifth week of the season as determined by a vote of local and national media members who regularly cover the league. 

In addition to Miles, Cincinnati's Caliyah DeVillasee earned the Big 12's Freshman of the Week honor this week.

In a 95-40 victory over UTEP on Saturday, Miles recorded a triple-double (15 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds) in just 32 minutes of action and became the first Power Four conference player to start a season with 10 consecutive games of at least 15 points and five assists. The graduate guard set the NCAA record with her ninth straight 15-and-5 game when TCU beat Incarnate Word 84-56 on Wednesday. 

Miles’ triple-double was the first by a TCU player in 14 years and fourth in program history. Miles now has seven career triple-doubles, which is tied for fifth in NCAA history, and is one of only 10 Division I players with a triple-double this season.  

Over the two games, Miles averaged 15 points, 8.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and two steals. She shot 58% from the field, including 57% from 3-point range. The 11 assists versus UTEP matched Miles’ career-high as a Horned Frog.
