AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior guard DeAndre Kane has been recognized as the Phillips 66 Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for the second time this season after his performance against BYU.

Kane finished with 21 points and tied his career-high with 11 rebounds, adding three assists and two steals. He shot 60 percent (9-of-15) from the field and made 3-of-4 (.750) from the free-throw line. Kane has been in double figures for all four games this year and is shooting 57.5 percent overall.
