WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- C.J. Wilcox was named the very first Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week on Monday, announced Commissioner Larry Scott.

Wilcox led Washington in scoring during the first two nights of the World Vision Classic as the Huskies jumped out to a 2-0 to start in the three-day tournament. The Huskies (2-0) play Portland (2-0) for the championship tonight at 7:00 p.m.

The 6-foot-5 guard scored 22 points in a 91-74 win over Georgia State, in which he buried five 3-pointers and was 8-of-12 from the field overall. He added six rebounds, dished out three assists and snagged two steals.

Against the Sun Belt Conference's preseason favorite Florida Atlantic, Wilcox scored 19 points - including 13 in the second half. He also set a new career high with four steals and tied a career-high with two blocks.

For the week, Wilcox averaged 20.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.0 bpg and 3.0 spg, while converting 8-of-13 (61.5%) from 3-point range.
