Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor goes airborne to defend against a pass by Temple guard Luis Guzman during the first half Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week on Monday, marking the second time in three weeks that Taylor has won the award and just the 14th time a Jayhawk has won it in the history of the Big 12.

Taylor’s performance in the Jayhawk’s 71-59 victory over Temple on Saturday included 11 points, eight assists and just one turnover. He leads all Big 12 freshmen in assists with 41 and is tied for first in steals with 18. Taylor leads Kansas in steals on the season and is second to only Sherron Collins in assists. He’s third on the team in points behind Collins and Cole Aldrich.

The last Jayhawk to take home the award was Brandon Rush, who won it three times in 2005-06.

Kansas takes the floor next on Tuesday night when they take on Arizona in Tucson at 9:30 p.m. CT. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net, Sunflower Broadband channels 36 and 236 HD.
