SAN FRANCISCO - The Pac-12 announced its 10th weekly honors of the 2020-21 men's basketball season as presented by Nextiva and voted on by media who cover the league.

Pac-12 Men's Basketball Player of the Week, presented by Nextiva (2/1/21)
Alfonso Plummer, UTAH

• Scored all 23 of his points in 15 second-half minutes to help Utah overcome a 19-point deficit with 8:46 remaining and win at Colorado for the first time since 2017. Finished 8-of-13 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range.
• Had 21 points over the final 7:49 to power the Utes to a game-ending 31-9 run. Went 7-of-9 from the field, including 4-of-5 behind the arc, and 3-of-3 at the foul line after the penultimate media timeout.
• Four-point play with 3:24 left gave Utah its first lead (70-69) since 6-3, then made three more critical crunch-time baskets including the game-deciding jumper with 13 seconds left.
• First career weekly award for Plummer.
