On Monday, the Bears became the only program in Big 12 history to have the preseason and postseason Rookie of the Years in three consecutive seasons.

Among Big 12 freshman, Edgecombe’s 15.0 points per game led the pack, as the Bahamian national team guard averaged 5.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, both of which ranked third among Big 12 freshmen.
