For the second-straight week, Iowa State’s Will Clyburn has been named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week, the league announced Monday morning. 

The Detroit native averaged 21 points and seven rebounds during the week. 

Against Baylor on Feb. 2, Clyburn scored a season-high 28 points, shooting 50 percent from the floor and making 11-of-12 free throws. He also brought in 10 rebounds on the night to tally his sixth double-double of the season. 

Before that, against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., on Jan. 30, Clyburn scored 14 points in a 78-76 loss. Clyburn grabbed four rebounds and came up with two steals.
