Catcher Easton Carmichael named Co-Big 12 Player of the Week

Sophomore catcher Easton Carmichael named Big 12 Co-Player of the Week after an incredible four game performance.

It was an electric week for sophomore catcher Easton Carmichael. His production at the plate earned Carmichael Big 12 Co-Player of the Week honors.

Oklahoma went undefeated last week, and Carmichael was pivotal in the Sooners efforts. He hit .615 with four extra-base hits, including two home runs and eight RBIs.

The sophomore went 8-for-13, scoring eight runs, drawing three walks, and even stealing a base for good measure. He also struck out only one time during that impressive run.

On Sunday, he went yard to put the run rule into effect and end the Sooners’ sweep of new Big 12 foe UCF early in the seventh inning.

He’ll split this award with Texas designated hitter Max Belyeu.

Carmichael is the first Oklahoma Sooner to win a Player of the Week award since his brother, Braden, did it last season as Pitcher of the Week.

Carmichael has recorded a multi-hit game for the Sooners in four of the last six games. He’s now batting .472, good for second in the Big 12, while slugging .755, good for fifth. Carmichael is fifth in OPS, fourth in doubles, and tenth in runs batted in.

Carmichael will look to continue his hot campaign this week as Oklahoma plays Oklahoma State and Texas-Arlington and has a weekend series in Fort Worth against a ranked TCU squad.

Instant Analysis: LSU basketball survives another close call against UT Arlington

It was a bit too close for comfort once again, but LSU moved to 7-1 with a win over the Mavericks.

It was a little too close for comfort once again, but LSU moved to 7-1 on the season to begin the [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] era in Baton Rouge with a 63-59 home win over the UT Arlington Mavericks.

Despite a poor shooting performance in the first half — in which the Tigers converted under 40% of their attempts from the field — they still led by seven at the break. But the Mavericks outscored LSU in the second half and led by four after the under-eight timeout.

However, LSU would follow that up with a 14-2 run down the stretch that proved to be enough to stave off the feisty mid-major opponent.

Forward [autotag]KJ Williams[/autotag] led the way for LSU in this one, scoring 14 points. [autotag]Adam Miller[/autotag] also scored in double figures for the Tigers with 11 points. Neither team shot particularly well, and UTA was under 40% for the game, though it was better in the second half.

However, LSU turned the ball over 13 times, which helped keep the Mavericks in the game. They may have won if they had taken advantage, but they only netted seven points from those mishaps.

It wasn’t the most inspiring win, but it will have to do for now. LSU has a week to work on its problems before facing a 7-2 Wake Forest team in Atlanta for Holiday Hoopsgiving on Dec. 10.
