More than two months into the season, UCLA finally did it. The Bruins have a Pac-12 player of the week.
Sophomore guard Johnny Juzang won the award Monday after following a 25-point performance against Washington State with a career-high 32 points in a 64-61 victory over Washington.
Juzang becomes the first UCLA player to win the award in nearly two years, Jaylen Hands having been the last Bruin to receive the honor on March 4, 2019.
“It’s a nice honor and I’m grateful for the award, but really we’re just focused on winning and the postseason and taking it game by game and we’re just focused on where the season’s going,” Juzang told The Times.
