Zach Smith and Keenan Evans had their talent and work rewarded with All-Big 12 honors over the weekend. Evans picked up third team All-Big 12 while Smith got All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Status for the second straight season.

Evans averaged 15.5 points per game on the season with 16.9 during the Big 12 schedule. Evans was also in the top 15 in the Big 12 in three point shooting percentage, free throw percentage, assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio. He was also Texas Tech's best player down the stretch and has blossomed into a player to be excited about in 2018.

Smith filled up the stat sheet nearly averaging a double double in points and rebounds. He ranked in the Top 7 in points per game and blocks per game. Smith was just one of two players who ranked in the Top 7 in both categories.

According to texastech.com, Smith has secured a block in 25 of 30 games and his 135 career blocks are second on Texas’s Tech list only behind Tony Battie at 162 rejections.
