Baylor's Taliah Scott (player) and Kansas' Jaliya Davis (freshman) earned weekly Big 12 women's basketball recognition for the ninth week of the 2025-26 season. Iowa State's Audi Crooks, TCU's Olivia Miles and Utah's Lani White join the pair on the Big 12 Starting Five, which highlights strong performances from around the league.

Scott hit the game-winning shot over then-No. 10 Iowa State to give Baylor its first top-10 road victory since Dec. 30, 2023. The guard from Orange Park, Florida scored all 21 of her points in the second half. Scott started the week putting up 24 points in her first full game back from injury, helping the Bears erase a 19-point third quarter deficit to defeat Oklahoma State 77-68. This is the redshirt sophomore's second Big 12 weekly award.

Davis scored 20+ points in both of KU's games while averaging 23.5 points per game for the week. The freshman started with 21 points in her return from injury against West Virginia before adding 26 points in an 83-68 victory over UCF, where she shot 10-of-12 from the field. The forward from Overland Park, Kansas, has scored at least 10 points in all five games she's played this season, including three games with 20+ points. This is her first weekly accolade.

Crooks averaged over 30 points per game for ISU while posting her 80th and 81st consecutive career games with double-figure scoring. Miles notched her Big 12 single-season record fourth triple-double to join Caitlin Clark (Iowa) and Sabrina Ionescu (Oregon) as the only players in women's college basketball history to have at least 10 career triple-doubles. White scored 25 points, including a game-tying three with 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter, as Utah claimed its 11th top-10 victory in program history with an 87-77 overtime victory over then-No. 8 TCU.
