Pac-12 Hotline men's basketball week in review: UCLA's continued dominance, Arizona State's emergence, Oregon's roller-coaster ride and more.
Theme of the week: UCLA’s dominanceThe Bruins whacked Utah and Colorado to stay undefeated in conference play and remain in the hunt for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Four players scored in double figures, and freshman Adem Bona continued to develop as an athletic, frontcourt force. So sound were the Bruins with their execution that they won by a combined 33 points despite shooting 29.7 percent from 3-point range.
Team of the week: Arizona StateThe Sun Devils rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit to edge Oregon State on Saturday and complete a weekend sweep. They have won four in a row and are one game back of UCLA with a showdown in Tempe upcoming. Picked seventh in the Pac-12 preseason media poll, ASU is 6-1 in conference play for the first time since 1980-81.
Player of the week: ASU’s Desmond Cambridge Jr.The transfer from Nevada scored 21 points in each game in Oregon, leading the Sun Devils on both occasions. Cambridge’s efficiency was superb: He tallied 42 total points on just 30 field-goal attempts. Add a handful of steals and blocks, and he was an easy call for Player of the Week.
Recovery of the week: OregonThe Ducks are setting a standard for inconsistency that will be difficult for anyone in the conference to match. Their latest submission took the form of a 17-point home loss to Arizona State followed by a 19-point home victory over Arizona. The 48-hour roller coaster came one week after a wild Mountain trip in which the Ducks were blown out at Colorado but beat Utah handily.
