University of Arizona vs Colorado (Allonzo Trier)

Arizona's Deandre Ayton and Allonzo Trier made the Pac-12's 10-player all-league team, while Dusan Ristic was named to the five-player second team.

Rawle Alkins received honorable mention honors, meaning he received at least three points in voting by the league's 12 coaches.

Ayton was also named to the five-player all-freshman team, and the five-player all-defensive team, and he's expected to become the Pac-12's Player of the Year when the major awards are announced at 6 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks.

During an hour-long show starting at 6 p.m., the Pac-12 says it will announce its Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year.

UA coach Sean Miller said Ayton will be a "unanimous" choice as Player of the Year, and he's also in line for Freshman of the Year. Thybulle and Wooten appear most likely to win Defensive Player of the Year.


Arizona will not hold its usual Monday news conference for the second straight week, the only time when Sean Miller and a player the school selects can be asked questions except after games.

Miller will hold his radio show, however.
