SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference announced its weekly award winners on Monday and Arizona freshman forward Zeke Nnaji was named Freshman of the Week for the third time this season.
 
The Hopkins, Minnesota native averaged 18.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and shot 59.1 percent from the floor (13-22), 2-of-2 from the 3-point line and 8-of-10 at the free throw line while guiding the Wildcats to a sweep of Utah and Colorado.
 
On Thursday against the Utes, Nnaji tied for game-high honors with 24 points while also adding eight rebounds on 9-of-12 shooting. He followed that up with 12 points and 12 rebounds against No. 20 Colorado on Saturday, his seventh double-double of the season and third in Pac-12 play.
 
Only Washington's Isaiah Stewart (4) has claimed the freshman of the week honor more in the Pac-12 this season.
 
Arizona returns to action this weekend, traveling to Tempe to take on in-state rival Arizona State on Saturday (7:30 p.m.; Pac-12 Networks).
