TCU men’s basketball’s Langford named player of the week
Kevin Langford (Fort Worth, Texas/North Crowley H.S.) was selected as the Mountain West Conference Player of the Week after averaging 24.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for a Horned Frogs' squad that posted a 2-0 record this past week.
The TCU forward scored a career-high 31 points on 10-of-13 shooting, including 10-of-15 shooting from the charity stripe, in a 92-80 victory over Prairie View A&M (Dec. 22). Langford became the first player since Junior Blunt during the 2001-02 season to score 30 or more points in a game.
In an overtime victory against The University of Texas at Arlington, Langford collected 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting to go along with 5-of-8 shooting at the free throw line while adding five rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots.
Langford is currently ranked sixth in the Mountain West Conference in scoring average (14.7 P-G), eighth in free throw percentage (70.0 / 49-of-70), 10th in offensive rebounds per game (1.8 R-G) and 15th in rebounding (5.6 R-G).
The TCU forward is the first player from the Purple and White to be selected as Mountain West Conference Player of the Week since Brent Hackett (Fort Worth, Texas/Southwest H.S.) earned the award on January 8, 2007.
