In the blowout win over Oregon State, Mbah a Moute was again perfect from the field (6-for-6), including making his only three-point attempt. He had 14 points and seven rebounds and only played 21 minutes. For the week, he was perfect from the field (100 percent, 12-for-12) and made his only three-pointer. He averaged 14.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 assists.

This is Mbah a Moute's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of his career.
