Mizzou Sweeps Weekly Big 12 Awards

Missouri teammates Kim English and Michael Dixon have been chosen the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player and Rookie of the Week, respectively, for games of December 21-27 in voting by a panel of media covering the Conference.  It is the first career honor for both student-athletes.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Kim English, Missouri, G, So., 6-6, 200, Baltimore, Md./Randallstown/Notre Dame Prep
English averaged 23.5 points to lead Missouri to victories over Illinois (81-68) and Austin Peay (94-79).  The sophomore guard started the week with 24 points and six rebounds on 8-of-15 shooting as the Tigers stopped a nine-game losing streak in the series with the Fighting Illini.  He followed with 23 points and four boards in the win over the Governors.  In two contests, he shot 55.2 percent (16-of-29), including 8-of-16 (.500) from beyond the arc.  He was also 7-of-10 from the free throw line, with two assists and four steals.  English has scored in double digits in 10 of his last 11 outings, including 20 points or more six times. 

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Michael Dixon, Missouri, G, Fr., 6-1, 175, Kansas City, Mo./Lee’s Summit West
Dixon also contributed strong efforts in both Mizzou wins.  The freshman guard began with a career-high 16 points versus Illinois’ guard trio, connecting on 6-of-13 shots from the floor.   He started his fourth straight game in the Austin Peay contest and added 12 points and four steals on 4-of-5 shooting.  In two outings last week, he averaged 14.0 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 steals.  He shot 55.6 percent (10-of-18) from the field and was 6-of-6 from the charity stripe.  Dixon has reached double figures in six of his last seven games and has dished out 24 assists with just four turnovers during that stretch.

Mizzou has released the 23-page "Mizzou Basketball News and Notes 2009-10" highlighting the Oral Roberts game on Wednesday.

Some of the interesting tidbits found in the release:

  • Series: Missouri leads 5-0; last on Nov. 30, 2008, 92-83 win for Mizzou in Columbia, Mo.
  • Wednesday will be a Homecoming for Anderson and his wife Marcheita ... Marcheita is from a small town just outside of Tulsa and att ended high school in Bixby and of course Coach Anderson played (and coached) collegiately at Tulsa for Nolan Richardson ... In fact Richardson is back in Tulsa coaching the new WNBA team, formerly the Detroit Shock.
  • Missouri is playing its fi rst non-conference road game against a team from a conference other than the Big Ten, SEC and Pac-10 since traveling to a very good Davidson club (82-73 loss)  during the 2005-06 season.
  • Missouri has enjoyed great success in the state of Oklahoma since Mike Anderson's arrival in Columbia ... The Tigers are 5-2 all-ti me, with a pair of wins at Oklahoma State and of course the 2009 Big 12 Tournament Championship.
