That’s how many times this season the West Virginia guard has earned a Big 12 Player of the Week honor.

After the Mountaineers earned a pair of conference wins in the past week, Paige earned the award for his offensive power. Paige, the first man off the bench for much of the season, continued his patented play in the pair of WVU basketball victories.

In the come-from-behind win at Iowa State on Tuesday, Paige scored a game-high 23 points in just 23 minutes of play. He was plagued with foul trouble in the first half, but managed to come out in the final 20 minutes and do what he needed, and is expected to do, for his team.
