KANSAS CITY, Mo. – It’s clear Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson is a huge fan of the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City. While some want the tournament to head west to Las Vegas, to cater towards the west coast teams – including Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd – Sampson showed his gratitude for the tournament being in KCMO.
Senior point guard Milos Uzan and junior forward Joseph Tugler both were named Honorable Mentions. Tugler also joined Sharp on the All Big 12 Defensive Team. This was Tugler's second straight season with All-Big 12 honors after making the Third Team and All-Defensive team last year.
