Texas Tech's Bailey Maupin (player) and Kansas' Jaliya Davis (freshman) collected weekly Big 12 women's basketball awards for the 10th week of the 2025-26 campaign. K-State's Tess Heal, TCU's Olivia Miles and West Virginia's Jordan Harrison also earned selections to the Big 12 Starting Five, which highlights strong performances from around the league.

Maupin led Texas Tech to road victories over West Virginia and Cincinnati while earning TTU's first Conference Player of the Week nod since 2023. The 71-66 win over the Mountaineers was the Lady Raiders' first in Morgantown since Jan. 14, 2015, while the 71-60 win over the Bearcats was the first over UC in program history. The two victories marked the first time Texas Tech has posted back-to-back road wins in league play since the 2004-05 season. Maupin led the team against WVU with 27 points and a career-high four made three-pointers while shooting 53.3% from the field and 57.1% from beyond the arc. Maupin added 17 points against Cincinnati to total her team-leading 16th double-digit scoring game of the season. Maupin's efforts helped Texas Tech remain as one of three unbeaten teams in the country (UConn, Vanderbilt) and the only one at 18-0. This is her first career Big 12 Player of the Week award and her third career weekly league honor.

Davis extended her streak of 20+ point games to four while averaging 20.5 points per game and 4.0 rebounds per game for the week, becoming the first player to win Big 12 Freshman of the Week in back-to-back weeks this season. Davis posted 20 points against Utah while shooting 54.5% from the field and 80% from the free throw line. Davis added 21 points against then-No. 16 Baylor while going 9-of-15 from the floor (60%).

Heal came off the bench to average 28 points per game while shooting 69% from the field and 85.7% from the foul line, while setting the K-State record for points in any quarter by scoring 21 against UH in the fourth quarter.

Miles led all players in points and assists in each of TCU's victories over Oklahoma State and Arizona State and has finished with at least 15 points and five assists in 16 of TCU's 17 contests.

Harrison averaged 20.5 points and 6.5 assists across two games while posting 19 points, eight assists, seven steals and five rebounds in an 83-70 win over then-No. 11 Iowa State.
