Sonoran Hot Reads: Allonzo Trier named Pac-12 Player of the Week

Just the first of many awards for Trier probably

After putting up a combined 42 points, eight rebounds, and two assists against Mizzou and Fresno State, Arizona Wildcats freshman Allonzo Trier was named the Pac-12's Player of the Week. He shot 72% in those two games, and the 27 points against Fresno were the most by an Arizona freshman since Derrick Williams had 28 points in a game in 2009. Five different players from five different schools have now won the award so far this year

- Even though it was a blowout, we got to see more from the freshmen. Oh, and there was more to learn

- Is E.T a Star Wars character or nah?

- The best photos of the week have a lot from the Mizzou game. I'd also like to throw in this one

Football

- Arizona's defense will look to prove itself on Saturday with Scooby Wright III back. Rich Rodriguez said Monday that both Wright and Anu Solomon are good to go for the New Mexico Bowl

- Ted Miller says the Wildcats' bowl game is more important than ASU's and UW's. So there's that

- The Arizona/UNM rivalry dates all the way back to 1908, and has some crazy stories and legends surrounding it

Baseball

- Arizona will be on TV 17 times this year. None before April though

Other sports

- Two men's divers will be competing in Winter Nationals in Indianapolis this week

Tucson news

- Details about the officer-involved shooting at Ventana Canyon came out on Monday

- DM Air Force base is trying to strengthen community ties to make it more likely to remain open

- It's kinda cold
