Sonoran Hot Reads: Salim Stoudamire to be inducted into Pac-12 Hall of Honor

Congrats to Salim

Each year at the Pac-12 Tournament, the conference inducts one player from each school into the Pac-12 Hall of Honor. This year's representative for the Arizona Wildcats will be Salim Stoudamire. The most prolific three-point shooter in school history still holds the program records for most threes in a game (9), season (120) and career (342). Stoudamire is already in the Arizona Ring of Honor for his All-American selection in the 2004-05 season, where he was also named the Most Outstanding Player of the Pac-10 Tournament. Congrats to Salim, and looking forward to seeing him in Las Vegas in March.
