Davis Named to Academic All-Big 12 First Team

Senior guard and human relations major honored for his high grade point average.

NORMAN, Okla. - The University of Oklahoma's Cade Davis was named to the 2011 Academic All-Big 12 Men's Basketball Team Thursday. Davis was one of 12 total student-athletes recognized as a first-team selection, and one of 16 overall honorees.

First-team members have recorded a 3.20 or better GPA, while second-team honorees are those with a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.

A human relations major from Elk City, Okla., Davis is OU's lone senior. The guard ranks second on the team in scoring (12.3 ppg), rebounding (5.0 rpg), assists (2.0 apg) and steals (1.0 spg). Davis also ranks third in the Big 12 with his 35.2 minutes per contest. He has made 166 career 3-pointers and needs four more to move into the top five on OU's career list.

To qualify for the all-academic team, student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher (either cumulative or over each of the two previous semesters) and have participated in 60 percent of his team's scheduled contests. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence. Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.

Davis and the Sooners next play on Saturday at Kansas State. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. CT and the game will be televised by the Big 12 Network.

Congrats Cade! I read somewhere on here there are only 16 players in the conference with a 3.0 or better. That's really something to be proud of. We are proud to call you one of our own.
