About the John R. Wooden Award Presented by Wendy's Men's Player of the Year
The Wooden Award National Advisory Board names a Preseason Top 50 and Midseason Top 25 watch list each season. Then, in March, the board names 15 finalists who are then voted on by nearly 1,000 Wooden Award Voters and separately by college basketball fans. Voting concludes the Monday after the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
Created in 1976, the John R. Wooden Award is the most prestigious individual honor in college basketball. It is bestowed upon the nation's best player at an institution of higher education who has proven to his or her university that he or she is making progress toward graduation and maintaining a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA. Previous winners include such notables as Larry Bird ('79), Michael Jordan ('84), Tim Duncan ('97), Candace Parker ('07 and '08), Kevin Durant ('09) and Anthony Davis ('12). Michigan's Trey Burke won the 2013 Wooden Award presented by Wendy's.
