Arizona’s Nik McClaughry named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, 4 other Wildcats earn all-conference recognition

It hasn’t been a particularly strong season on the field for Arizona, which finished tied for eighth in the Pac-12 and must win this week’s conference tourney in Scottsdale in order to make the NCAA Tournament.
