The Wildcats won the Pac-12 regular-season title and the Pac-12 tournament. Koloko was named to the All-Pac-12 First-Team and voted as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Arizona then reached the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
“This was one of my best years playing basketball and the year I has the most fun playing. It was all our first year playing in the tournament, we were really excited going there and show what we can do”, said Koloko in an interview with Shams Charania from The Athletic.
The Cameroonian big man is one of the best rim protectors in the draft and can score inside by catching lobs or cutting from the baseline. He led the Pac-12 in blocks with 2.8 per game and he also improved to 12.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
