WACO, Texas – Adam Flagler and Keyonte George represented Baylor on the media's All-Big 12 teams announced Tuesday by the Associated Press. Flagler was named to the first team, while George was a second-team selection.
 
A Duluth, Ga., native, Flagler made the AP All-Big 12 Team for the second-straight season after being selected to the Second Team a season ago. The senior tied for the conference lead in three-point field goals per game (2.6) while finishing second in assist-turnover ratio (2.8) and three-point field goal percentage (.411). The Jerry West Award Top-10 candidate also led the team in assists 21 times this season.
 
The unanimous first-team selection by the league's coaches has been Baylor's primary point guard this season, meaning 12 of Baylor's last 13 starting point guards under Scott Drew have earned All-Big 12 recognition.
 
Named Big 12 Freshman of the Year by the head coaches, George sits sixth in the conference in scoring (16.0), fifth in three-point field goals made (2.4) and sixth in free throw percentage (.794). George holds the program record for most 20-point games by a freshman (12), and his 16.0 points per game are the sixth-most among all freshmen in NCAA Division I. The Lewisville native is just 30 points away (479) from BU's freshman scoring record of 509 points held by Aaron Bruce.
 
No. 4 seed Baylor opens play at the 2023 Big 12 Championship with a quarterfinal matchup against No. 5 seed Iowa State at 11:30 a.m. CT on ESPN or ESPN2. The winner of that game will face the winner of Thursday's 2 p.m. quarterfinal between No. 1 seed Kansas and either No. 8 seed West Virginia or No. 9 seed Texas Tech. That semifinal game is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday, and the championship game is at 5 p.m. Saturday.
