Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham, Illinois’ Ayo Dosunmu and Iowa’s Luka Garza headine the list of 15 student- athletes who are candidates for the Wooden Award All American Team and Wooden Award Trophy as the most outstanding college basketball player in the United States.
Gonzaga has three players on the final list in Corey Kispert, Jalen Suggs and Drew Timme, while Illinois (Ayo Dosunmu and Kofi Cockburn) and Villanova (Collin Gillespie and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl) each have a pair.
