Lamar Stevens is having quite the senior season: His team is on the warpath towards securing Penn State’s first NCAA Tournament bid in nearly a decade, he just became only the third PSU player to eclipse 2,000 career points, and now he finds himself being named to the John R. Wooden Award’s late season Top 20 list.
Other fellow Big Ten members on the list include Maryland’s Anthony Cowan Jr. and Jalen Smith, Cassius Winston (Michigan State), Daniel Oturu (Minnesota), and Luka Garza (Iowa).
Think of the Wooden Award as college basketball’s version of the Heisman Trophy.
