TCU forward Vladimir Brodzianksy was selected Monday as the Big 12 men’s basketball player of the week, the first Horned Frog to receive the honor this season.
Brodziansky, a 6-foot-11 junior, averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks per game in victories over Texas and Iowa State that lifted TCU (14-3, 3-2 in Big 12) above the .500 mark in league play for the first time at any point in any season during the school’s five years of conference membership. Brodziansky made 20-of-28 shots from the field (71.4 pct.) during the two contests, including an 11-for-14 performance in Saturday’s 84-77 victory over Iowa State that included his first 3-pointer of the season.
