Potter Named to Pac-12 All-Conference Team by Media
3/1/2017 12:30 PM | Women's Basketball
SAN FRANCISCO – University of Utah women's basketball redshirt junior forward Emily Potter has been named to the Pac-12 All-Conference Team by the media, the league office announced Wednesday.
Â
Potter was also named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and received Pac-12 All-Conference Team honorable mention from the coaches. Last season she was a Pac-12 All-Conference Team selection by both the coaches and the media, Pac-12 All-Defensive Team honorable mention and Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention. The Winnipeg, Manitoba native was also named to the All-Freshman Team in 2013-14.
Â
Potter leads the Pac-12 in blocked shots with 87 swatted shots, good for eighth in the NCAA as she sits just 14 blocks shy of breaking the program's all-time block record. Her 87 block is also the most in a single-season by any Ute, breaking her own record of 83 blocks last season.
Â
The starter has helped the Utes contain opponents to just 37-percent shooting from field-goal range and pilling down 42 rebounds per game.
Â
Potter has led the team in scoring and rebounding throughout the regular-season averaging 13.9 points and 8.6 rebounds entering the Pac-12 Conference Tournament, earning honorable mention all-conference. Â She ranks fifth in the Pac-12 in field-goal percentage as the 6-6 Winnipeg, Manitoba native is shooting 52.2 percent from the floor.
Â
Potter became one of just 26 Utes to join the exclusive 1,000-point club 11 games into her junior season. Potter knocked down her 1,000th career point on a free-throw in the first quarter against Northern Arizona. She has tallied nine double-doubles and has scored in double figures in 23 out of the 29 games this season.
Â
The 12th-seeded University of Utah women's basketball team will start Pac-12 Tournament play against the Arizona State Sun Devils in the first round on Thursday at 2 p.m. PT.
Â
Action from Seattle's KeyArena will be televised live on Pac-12 Networks with Anne Marie Anderson (PBP) and Tammy Blackburn (Analyst) providing the commentary. Tyson Ewing will have the play-by-play call on ESPN 700.
Â
The tournament will take place at KeyArena in Seattle this Thursday through Sunday, March 2 - 5. Tickets are still available at pac-12.com/tickets or the East Box Office at KeyArena.
