For the first time in the eight years since the U.S. Basketball Writers Association named its freshman of the year award the Wayman Tisdale Award, the trophy is going to a Sooner.
Oklahoma freshman point guard Trae Young was named the Wayman Tisdale Award winner on Wednesday morning.
Young has broken several of Tisdale's records at Oklahoma during this season, including the mark for most points by a Sooners' freshman.
Going into Wednesday night's Bedlam game in the Big 12 Tournament (6 p.m., ESPNU), Young is averaging 27.5 points and 8.9 assists per game.
