</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Baylor senior guard MaCio Teague picked up National Player of the Week honors from the NCAA and was selected as Big 12 Conference Player of the Week, as announced Monday by the conference office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Teague led Baylor to three wins over top-18 ranked opponents during the week, as the Bears claimed their first Big 12 Conference championship and first conference title
since 1950. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A Cincinnati, Ohio, native, Teague put together a memorable senior night by tying the school record with 10 made 3-pointers in Sunday’s win over No. 18 Texas Tech. He
tied the second-most 3-pointers made in game by any player in the Big 12 Conference’s 25-year history. He went 10-of-12 from 3-point range and posted 35 points on only 16 field goal attempts, the fourth-most points by a Baylor player in the Big 12 game.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Teague finished the regular season second on the team and sixth in the Big 12 with 15.8 points per game, which increased to 16.1 in Big 12 play. He’s shooting 40% from
3-point range and averaging 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 31.2 minutes per game. Teague ranks fifth in the Big 12 with a .481 field goal percentage and 12<sup>th</sup> with 2.0 made 3-pointers per game.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The conference weekly honor was the third in Teague’s two years at Baylor, as he was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Jan. 13 and Feb. 10 last season. He was</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">
recognized three times as Big South Player of the Week and four times as Big South Freshman of the Week while at UNC Asheville during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

six years. This is the fourth time Baylor has had three different players earn Big 12 Player of the Week honors in the same year, following Cory Jefferson, Isaiah Austin and Kenny Chery in 2014, Rico Gathers, Taurean Prince and Johnathan Motley in 2016 and
Tristan Clark, King McClure and Makai Mason in 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
