Kavell Bigby-Williams wins Pac-12 Regular Season Championship

By Sam Neter on March 5, 2017

Kavell Bigby-Williams helped Oregon to an 80-59 win over Oregon State Saturday afternoon at Gill Coliseum in front of over 9000 spectators that clinched the Ducks’ second straight Pac-12 championship.

The 6’11” junior went 4/6 at the line for 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist for an efficient 11 minutes of action.

By virtue of Oregon’s 85-58 win against Arizona on Feb. 4, the Ducks (27-4, 16-2) will be the No. 1 seed for next week’s Pac-12 Tournament.

The former GB U20 has averaged 3.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.9 minutes across 29 games so far this season for Oregon, after an impressive JUCO career at Gilette that saw him named the 2015-16 Spalding NJCAA Division I Player of the Year after leading the nation in blocked shots and earning NJCAA first-team all-America honours.

Oregon won back-to-back conference titles for the first time in program history. It was the sixth overall conference title for Oregon. The others came in 1919 (Pacific Coast Conference), 1939 (PCC), 1945 (PCC), 2002 (Pac-10) and 2016 (Pac-12). The 16 conference wins are also a program best.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
