The Big 12 postseason accolades were announced this morning with Texas Tech guard Jarrett Culver was named the Big 12 Player of the Year and Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year.

Culver was named to the first team All-Big 12, Matt Mooney was named to the second team All-Big 12, Davide Moretti was named to the third team All-Big 12 team, Tariq Owens was named All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. Mooney and Owens were named to the Big 12 All-Defensive team and Mooney was named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer team.

This is a huge honor for Culver, who only increased his stock with yesterday’s performance and I honestly would have had no problem with Beard winning the award with Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber, who’s K-State team won a portion of the Big 12, ending Kansas’ streak of Big 12 titles.
