Our final player review is reserved for the big man himself. A.J. Hammons had an excellent senior season that could be capped tonight if he wins the Kareem Abdul Jabbar Award for the nation's best center. He is one of five finalists, and the award will be announced live on ESPN2 tonight during the College Basketball Awards Show.
It seems odd that we are saying goodbye to AJ. We have seen him morph from shy freshman into A.J. HAMMONS DESTROYER OF WORLDS. He finished this year as a First Team all-Big Ten selection, the B1G Defensive Player of the Year, an honorable mention All-American, and more.
