K-State freshman Marcus Foster has been named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week after averaging 16 points in wins over George Washington and Oklahoma State last week.

Foster becomes the first Kansas State true freshman to earn the weekly honor in more than two seasons since current teammate Thomas Gipson collected the award on Dec. 12, 2012.

Foster averaged 16 pints on 52.2% shooting, averaged 5.5 rebounds, and two assists in 27 and a half minutes per game during the week.  Foster scored 15 points in the Wildcat’s win over George Washington, and then 17 points in the victory over Oklahoma State.

K-State plays at TCU  Tuesday night.
