After winning the Maui Invitational MVP award, Arizona center Oumar Ballo was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week.
Ballo averaged 21.0 points and 10.7 rebounds in UA's wins over Cincinnati, San Diego State and Creighton at Maui, helping the Wildcats jump to No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll Monday.
After winning the MVP trophy on Nov. 23 in Lahaina, Ballo took a modest tone. He said it"was a little bit crazy" that he had shot as well as he did, credited the UA guards and said his performance on such a high stage was not evidence that he had arrived after three previous seasons in college basketball.
