For the second straight year, Purdue center Zach Edey has won the John R. Wooden Award, which is given to the nation's top men's and women's college basketball players.
Edey is just the second male player to win the Wooden Award twice and on back-to-back occasions. Virginia center Ralph Sampson accomplished the feat after winning the honor in 1982 and 1983.
The big man was the consensus national player of the year, sweeping all the major awards. He averaged 25.2 points on 62.3 percent shooting, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 32.0 minutes per game last season.
