The first-team All-Big 12 Sooner was a crucial piece to Oklahoma’s team in his final season. Recording 10 double-doubles, Doolittle led the Big 12 in 20-point double-doubles with four such games. Doolittle finished his career at Oklahoma ranked No. 31 on the all-time scoring list with 1,188 points, becoming the forty-seventh Sooner to reach the 1,000-point threshold.

NABC’s eighth district recognizes the Big 12. First teamers include Kansas’ Udoh Azabukie and Devin Dotson. Baylor’s Jared Butler, Texas Tech’s Jahmi’us Ramsey, and West Virginia’s Oscar Tshiebwe round out the NABC’s first-team.

Highlighted by Doolittle, the second-team is full of some of the Big 12’s stars. Iowa State’s Tyrese Haliburton,  TCU’s Desmond Bane, and Baylor’s MaCio Teague and Freddie Gillespie surround Doolittle as part of the second team.
