Couisnard Posts Middling Production
Jermaine Couisnard totaled 17 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday’s 79-75 loss to Colorado. Couisnard had a chance to tie the game on Oregon’s final possession, but his three-point attempt clanged off the front of the rim. The fifth-year was coming off a career-high 39 points versus Arizona on Saturday, which was fueled by brilliance from everywhere on the court. He could not replicate the magic Thursday, but Oregon’s regular-season finale yields a matchup against Utah — who Couisnard torched for 26 points in a January showdown.
Love Named Pac-12 Player of the Year
Caleb Love was named Pac-12 Player of the Year on Tuesday, according to the conference’s website. North Carolina’s disappointing 2022-23 season was followed up by Love transferring from there to Arizona for a fresh start. The transfer worked wonders for him, as his recently won award indicates. Arizona finished atop the 2023-24 Pac-12’s regular season, during which Love averaged 20.0 points on 44.6/37.3/86.3 shooting splits. The senior finally established some scoring efficiency he lacked while enrolled at North Carolina. Improvement in both that category and output has led to his emergence as the best option for one of college basketball’s most promising teams.
