Disu was named the Big 12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player after having three quality performances. He was the leading scorer on Saturday night in the championship game, putting 18 points past Kansas.
Texas teammates were thrilled when the award was announced for Disu and began to go crazy. The center accepted his award and held the same big smile you see on everyone else’s face. A special scene on what was a special day for Texas.
