The Sooner senior forward picked up his third Big 12 Player of the Week honor following his performances at home against Iowa State and the best offensive performance for a visitor this season against Kansas.
In two games this past week, Doolittle dropped a combined 47 points and 18 rebounds, pushing his season averages to 15.5 (ppg) and 9.1 (rpg) respectively.
Doolittle has been the catalyst for the Sooners on offense over the past two to three weeks, trading off with Brady Manek as the Sooners’ leading scorer.
Even when scoring less than 10 points a game, Doolittle has made impacts on the offensive and defensive glass while stepping up his efforts on defense.
Winning the Big 12’s Most Improved Player Award last season, Doolittle may just find himself as a finalist again. Since his freshman year, Doolittle has evolved his game and his body to expand his game.
Oklahoma plays host to No. 1 Baylor Tuesday night at 8p.m. CT on ESPN2. Oklahoma students have free admission to the game.
