Landry went a combined 18-of-24 (.750) from the field, while averaging 26.5 points and eight rebounds last week to earn his first Player of the Week accolade. Against Baylor, he shot 83.3 percent from the field (10-of-12) and connected on 9-of-12 from the free throw line to post his third double-double of the season with a career-high 29 points and 10 rebounds. Landry followed with another double-digit scoring performance in an 87-67 win over Eastern Illinois, tallying a team-best 24 points, while chipping in six rebounds, two blocks and two steals.
