Dayton forward Obi Toppin was named the Wooden Award men's Player of the Year, the award committee announced Tuesday.

Last week, Toppin was given both the Naismith and Associated Press national player of the year awards.

Toppin had a breakout redshirt sophomore season for Dayton, averaging 20.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while shooting 63.3% from the field and 39.0% from deep.

He became the first Flyer to be named the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year and the first Flyer to win the Wooden Award. He also led the nation in dunks with a school-record 107.
