Zach Edey, Trayce Jackson-Davis among Wooden Award final 5

Purdue Boilermakers center Zach Edey and Indiana Hoosiers center Trayce Jackson-Davis were among the five finalists for the Wooden Award and the 10 All-Americans who were announced Thursday night.

The Wooden Award, given annually to the best men's and women's college basketball player in the country, will be announced April 7.

Edey, a 7-foot-4 center, has been the perceived frontrunner for most of the season, averaging 22.3 points (ranking 6th in Div. I), 12.9 rebounds (2nd) and 2.1 blocks, while shooting 60.7% from the field. He helped lead Purdue to the Big Ten regular-season title as well as the conference tournament championship, with the Boilermakers earning a 1-seed in the NCAA tournament before losing to 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round.
