KU junior Danielle McCray earned her second straight Big 12 player of the week award, the conference announced Monday. The 5-foot-11 guard/forward shared the award with Kansas State’s Shalee Lehning.

McCray scored a career-high 35 points in KU’s 69-45 victory over No. 5 Baylor on Wednesday, also putting in seven of her 10 three-point attempts.
