After leading the #6/5 University of Houston Men's Basketball program to a pair of victories last week, junior point guard Milos Uzan was honored as the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week.
Uzan led the Cougars to a 2-0 record a week ago with a home win over Utah on Wednesday in a severe winter weather-delayed game and a thrilling come-from-behind win in double overtime at #12/11 Kansas inside Phog Allen Fieldhouse for the team's 12th straight win overall and 17th consecutive Big 12 victory.
It was the first Big 12 weekly award of his career.
The Las Vegas native led all players with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting and dished out a game-high five assists with a rebound and steal against Utah inside Fertitta Center on Wednesday.
Three days later, Uzan nearly finished with a triple-double in the road win at #12/11 Kansas on Saturday evening. He posted 17 points with nine rebounds and nine assists and no turnovers in more than 41 minutes of action.
With his impressive play, Uzan now leads the Big 12 and the nation with a 4.57 assist-turnover ratio and ranks fourth in the league with 5.1 assists per game. He has posted 13 games with one or fewer giveaways in 2024-25, including 11 of the last 12.
Baylor's VJ Edgecombe and Iowa State's Joshua Jefferson shared Newcomer of the Week honors.
