MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Jan. 22, 2024) – West Virginia junior guard JJ Quinerly was voted the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.



The Norfolk, Virginia native averaged 20.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 6.0 steals in two Mountaineer victories.

Quinerly scored 18 points with five rebounds and four assists in the win against Houston. She notched eight steals against Cincinnati, matching a season-high for a Big 12 player while scoring 23 points in the game. It marked the ninth time this season she has reached the 20-point mark in a game.

Quinerly helped WVU become the first Division I team to hold opponents scoreless in the first quarter in back-to-back games since the four-quarter format was adopted in 2015-16. It is her second player of the week selection of the season and her career.

It is the second Player of the Week honor for Quinerly this season and her career. She also earned the conference honor on Dec. 11 this season.

Quinerly is the 12th player in program history to be named the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.
