SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference announced the final weekly award winners for the 2022-23 season on Monday and Arizona freshman guard
Kylan Boswell was named the top freshman in the conference for the final week of the regular season.
Â
In the two games last week at USC and No. 4 UCLA, Boswell averaged 14.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and shot 75% from the floor. He was 6 of 9 from the three-point line and came away with two steals on the week as well.

Against USC, he scored 14 points in 23 minutes off the bench, including a 2 of 3 effort from long distance. At UCLA, he played 24 minutes and tallied 14 points on 5 of 7 shooting and made a season-high four three-point field goals in the game. It marked the first time this season that Boswell scored double figures in back-to-back games.
