Cam picked up her 4th POW honor (and 2nd in a row) with two dominant performances against the L.A. schools this past weekend. Michelle Smith wrote the following in her conference round-up on Thursday (so right before the L.A. trip):

“Keep an eye on: Sophomore center Cameron Brink, with her third Pac-12 Player of the Award award this season, is starting to solidify front-runner status for Pac-12 Player of the Year after her 25-point, 15-rebound effort against Arizona on Sunday.”

Also worth noting:

Cam is #1 in the conference in PTS/40 min. at 26.5 PTS/40 min. 

Right behind her at #2?

Fran, at 25.5 PTS/40 min.

I’m sure Kiki doesn’t have enough minutes to qualify and you might be able to argue that she is not going up against the opposing team’s top defensive forwards as often, but Kiki is currently at 27.9 points per 40 minutes, ahead of Cam and everyone else.  Against USC at first I thought Kiki was struggling against the towering Akunwafo (who is going to be very formidable with more experience), but those two consecutive moves Kiki put on her (one with the euro-step, reverse layup on the break and the other with the zig-zag drive from the top of the key) we just absolute things of beauty.

Even with Cam and Fran and Ashten back next year and Lauren Betts coming in, I’m telling you that we have to find starter’s minutes for Kiki next year.  Kiki, keep working on that three pointer (and your passing) so Tara has no choice but to start you or make you the first one off the bench.

I love it when Kiki comes into a game!
