UNDATED (AP) — Kansas center Udoka Azubuike is The Associated Press Big 12 player of the year.

The 7-footer is the only player in the conference averaging a double-double.

Azubuike and his Jayhawks teammate Devon Dotson are the only unanimous picks for the AP All-Big 12 first team released Tuesday.

Baylor sophomore guard Jared Butler, TCU senior guard Desmond Bane and Oklahoma senior forward Kristian Doolittle are the other first-team selections.

Scott Drew was picked as coach of the year after No. 5 Baylor set a Big 12 record winning 23 games in a row.
