TUCSON, Ariz. ?- University of Arizona men’s basketball player Hassan Adams was named to the all-Pacific-10 Conference team, while Marcus Williams was named to the all-freshman team, in voting released today by the league’s head coaches.

Adams was named to the 10-man all-conference squad, which included four seniors. Teammate Ivan Radenovic was an honorable mention all-conference selection.

Adams, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior guard from Los Angeles, Calif., earned all-Pac-10 honors for the first time, after earning honorable mention recognition in each of the last two years. He is the only player in Pac-10 history to record 1,700 points, 700 rebounds and 200 steals. His current career totals stand at 1,777 points, 700 rebounds and 234 steals. Adams leads Arizona, and ranks third in the conference in scoring (17.3 ppg). He leads the Pac-10 in steals with 78, averaging 2.69 steals per game.

Williams, a 6-foot-7, 205-pound freshman forward from Seattle, Wash., was named to the all-freshman team after leading all Pac-10 freshmen in scoring, averaging 12.4 points per game, which ranks second on the Arizona squad. In addition, he's averaging 4.4 rebounds and a team-leading 44.4 percent shooting from three-point range.

Radenovic, a 6-foot-10, 244-pound junior forward from Belgrade Serbia-Montenegro, received honorable mention kudos after averaging 11.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game during the regular season. He is shooting 45.2 percent (112-of-248) from the field and 76.1 percent (83-of-109) from the free throw line. He was a Pac-10 honorable mention all-freshman pick in 2004.

With Adams on the Pac-10’s first team, a total of 31 Arizona players have earned 45 all-conference honors since joining the league in 1878-79.

Arizona (18-11, 11-7 Pac-10) will next be in action on Thursday, March 9, at the 2006 Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament in Los Angeles. The Wildcats open play in the quarterfinals against Stanford. Tip-off is scheduled for 12:20 p.m. PST and can be seen nationally on Fox Sports Net.
