IRVING, Texas — BYU guard Delaney Gibb was named the Big 12 Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
“Delaney is a special talent who does a lot for our team,” said head coach Lee Cummard. “With all the great players who have come through this program, recording the first triple-double in 40 years tells you a lot about her game and the level of basketball she is capable of producing every time she steps on the floor.”
Gibb recorded the first triple-double of the season by a Big 12 women's basketball player in BYU's win over Montana on Saturday. She is the first BYU player to earn Big 12 Player of the Week honors since the 2023-24 season.
Her 15-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist performance marked the first triple-double by a Cougar player since 1986, and the first that included points, rebounds and assists since 1982.
The junior scored 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished 10 assists in the 97-53 victory over the Lady Griz. Gibb notched eight assists and six of her rebounds in the second half as the Cougars pulled away, outscoring the Montana 51-22 after the break.
The native of Raymond, Alberta, averaged 13.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.7 blocks for the week, leading BYU to a 3-0 start for the fourth consecutive season. Gibb led all scorers in the season opener with 17 points, going 4-of-9 from deep, with seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal as the Cougars knocked off Idaho State.
Gibb and BYU return to the Marriott Center on Wednesday, Nov. 11, for an 11 a.m. MT tip-off against Bethune-Cookman in the annual Kids' Game. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ with Spencer Linton and Kristen Kozlowski on the call. Fans can also tune in to live play-by-play on BYU Radio 107.9, byuradio.org and the BYU Radio App with Jason Shepherd.
