The Big 12 announced their season awards today and as you'd expect, many of the usual suspects were honored. In a year expected to be highlighted by a potentially dominant OU baseball team, our Sooners instead struggled throughout the year to win consistently and as such were shutout in Player/Manager of the year honors. However, despite that fact OU did place multiple players on both the 1st and 2nd team selections. So without further adieu, here are this year's winners.
