After hobbling through a few games, Azuolas Tubelis looked pretty close to his old self in wins over UCLA and USC last weekend. While his sprained left ankle is still probably not 100 percent, it was good enough to help him earn an award.
Tubelis is the Pac-12 Player of the Week, honored after averaging 16 points and 8 rebounds in leading Arizona to home wins over a pair of ranked conference opponents, the first time it has done that in the same weekend since 2002.
The 6-foot-11 sophomore had 18 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes against USC, his first double-double this season, after going for 14 points and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes against UCLA.
