Conference Player of the Year and consensus first team All-American Pritchard became the second player to lead the league in scoring, assists and threes in a season (Damon Stoudarmire, ARIZ, 1994-95), propelling the Ducks to the outright Pac-12 regular-season title by a game over runner-up UCLA. Oregon never had an opportunity to defend its 2019 Pac-12 Tournament title though as the event - as well as the remainder of the NCAA Division I season including March Madness - was canceled on March 12 due to national and global concerns stemming from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Pac-12 had six teams reach the 20-win plateau during the 2019-20 regular season, equaling the most ever for the Conference. Coupled with its crowns in football and women's basketball during 2019-20, Oregon became the first school in Conference history to sweep the three league titles in the same season. Along with his league and All-America honors, Pritchard was also named the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year by the Naismith Me- morial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Lute Olson National Player of the Year. Another outstanding Pac-12 career came to close as OREGON STATE's Tres Tinkle concluded his four years in the Conference's all-time top 10 in scoring (overall and Conference-only), field goal attempts, and free throws made and attempted. ARIZONA's Zeke Nnaji was voted the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year. COLORADO's Tyler Bey was selected Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, UCLA's Chris Smith earned Most Improved Player of the Year and ARIZONA STATE's Alonzo Verge Jr. was tabbed Pac-12 Sixth Man of the Year. In his first season on the UCLA bench, Mick Cronin became the seventh head coach to win the Conference's John R. Wooden Coach of the Year award in his debut season.
