Arizona's Noelani Cornfield went into postseason play with a nod from the conference, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention on Tuesday. 

Arizona Wildcats guard Noelani Cornfield (4) pulls up for a jumper over the arms of Houston defense during the first quarter of their Big 12 game in Tucson on Feb. 24, 2026.

In her sole season with the Wildcats, the senior guard racked up 192 assists, ranking second in the Big 12 in assists per game. In 28 starts, she averaged 14.4 points and 6.9 assists. 

Going into the tournament, Cornfield had six 20-point matchups, including a 24-point outing vs. ASU, which UA was set to face in the opening round Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri. 

An 81.9% shooter from the free-throw line, Cornfield has also averaged 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game. 

She's also notched double digits in scoring in 22 games and assists with 10 or more four times during the regular season. 

The conference awards were voted on by Big 12 head coaches, who could not vote for their own players. Cornfield was the only Wildcat to crack the list.
