The weekly awards keep piling up for Bennedict Mathurin, who in addition to being Pac-12 Player of the Week for the second time in a row has landed a national honor for his recent play.
The United States Basketball Writers Association has tabbed Mathurin as the Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week for his performance last week in wins over Wyoming and Illinois. He is the first Arizona player to win the award since Lauri Markannen did so in 2016-17.
The UA has now had three USWBA Oscar Roberston National POW winners, the other being Ryan Anderson in 2015-16.
