TCU senior duo earn All-Big 12 honors for second consecutive season
TCU seniors Kenrich Williams and Vladimir Brodziansky earned All-Big 12 Conference honors for the second time.
Williams was named to the All-Big 12 second team after averaging 12.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. His 9.3 rebounds a game are second-most in the Big 12. His 12 double-doubles ranked this in the conference.
Brodziansky was named All-Big 12 third team after averaging 15.2 points, the 11th best in the league. He has scored 10 or more points in 27 of 31 games and has shot 57.7 percent from the field.
Brodziansky was named to the second a year ago and Williams earned honorable mention.
