UCLA PG Tyger Campbell earns Pac-12 first-team honors

Three UCLA Bruins were acknowledged for their efforts this season when the Pac-12 announced its yearly awards Tuesday morning.

Sophomore point guard Tyger Campbell was named to the all-conference first team. Sophomore guards Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Johnny Juzang were selected to the all-conference second team.

Jaquez was also named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team.

Campbell is averaging 10.6 points and 5.6 assists per game this season for UCLA (17-8, 13-6 Pac-12 play). He ranks second in the conference in assists per game (5.6) and is among the top five in the league in assist-turnover ratio (2.7 to 1).

Jaquez Jr. has notched 11.8 points per game and a team-high 6.0 rebounds per game this season. Like Campbell, he has started all 25 games this season.

Juzang, the team’s leading scorer (14.2 points per game), has scored at least 20 points in four games this season. The Kentucky transfer registered a career-high 32 points in a 64-61 victory at Washington on Feb. 13.

Fourth-seeded UCLA will face fifth-seeded Oregon State (14-12, 10-10) on Thursday afternoon at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m. The Bruins’ game against Oregon State will be televised on the Pac-12 Network. The radio broadcast will be available in the Los Angeles region on AM 1150.
