Three Big Ten Men’s Basketball Student-Athletes Named CSC Academic All-Americans

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Purdue’s Zach Edey has been named winner of the 2024 John R. Wooden Award presented by Principal as the most outstanding player in college basketball.Edey becomes only the second men’s player to win the Wooden Award twice, joining Ralph Sampson (1982 &amp; 1983) and the seventh Big Ten player to be honored, including Purdue’s Glenn Robinson in 1994.Edey has now won The Sporting News, the Associated Press, the Oscar Robertson Trophy, the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award honors in consecutive seasons, marking the first time since Bill Walton won the four major awards (at the time) in 1972 and 1973 that a player has swept the major National Player of the Year awards.He technically becomes the sixth two-time National Player of the Year, joining Ralph Sampson (1981, 1982, 1983), Bill Walton (1971, 1972, 1973), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1967, 1969), Jerry Lucas (1961, 1962) and Oscar Robertson (1958, 1959, 1960) as multiple NPOY recipients.This season, Edey led the nation in scoring at 25.2 points and ranked second with 12.2 rebounds to go with 2.2 blocked shots and 2.2 assists. The center also led the country in both free throws and field goals made, free throws attempts, total rebounds, and offensive rebounds, while leading Purdue to a 34-5 record, a Big Ten title, and the NCAA Tournament title game.He scored 983 points with 474 rebounds, joining Houston's Elvin Hayes (1968) as the only players in NCAA history to reach those marks in a season in NCAA history. He finished the year by scoring at least 20 points with 10 rebounds in nine straight games, while posting 16 straight games of 20 or more points to end his career. He finished the season with ten 30-10 games, the most for a player since Kansas State's Michael Beasley in 2007-08 (13).Edey capped his career with one of the best performances in NCAA Tournament history. The Toronto, Canada native averaged 29.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 assists while shooting 64.1 percent from the field while leading the Boilermakers to the NCAA Championship Game. He finished the tournament with 177 points, the third most in NCAA Tournament history, while playing all but four minutes in the last four games of the tournament. In fact, only three players in NCAA Tournament history have scored 150 points with 60 rebounds in the same tournament (Edey, Elvin Hayes, Jerry West) and Edey had 177 points and 87 rebounds.

Purdue Falls Short to UConn in National Championship Game

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Purdue center Zach Edey collected a pair of awards on Sunday, as the Atlanta Tipoff Club presented Edey with the Jersey Mike’s Naismith Award , while the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame named Edey its 2024 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year. This is the second consecutive year that Edey has received both accolades.Edey becomes the third player in award history to win more than one Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy, as only Virginia’s Ralph Sampson (1981-83) and UCLA’s Bill Walton (1972-74) have done so. Glenn Robinson is the only other Purdue player to win the award (1994).A Big Ten player has won the Naismith Trophy six times in the last 15 years. This includes Edey last year, Luka Garza, Iowa (2021), Frank Kaminsky III, Wisconsin (2015), Trey Burke, Michigan (2013) and Evan Turner, Ohio State (2010).Likewise, Edey joins Garza (2020, 2021) as the only two-time Kareem Abdul-Jabar award recipients. Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ (2019) and Kaminski (2015) join Edey and Garza as winners from the Big Ten in the award’s 10-year history.Entering Monday's National Championship game, Edey has dominated all season long, averaging a Division I-leading 24.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, second in the country, 2.2 blocks and 2.1 assists per game. For the second consecutive year, the center also led the Big Ten in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage (62.5%).Edey has dominated the NCAA Tournament so far, being one of three players (Edey, Elvin Hayes, Jerry West) to have at least 140 points and 70 rebounds in a single NCAA Tournament, already producing 140 points and 77 rebounds in this year's tournament. He has had at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in six straight NCAA Tournament games, marking the longest such streak in tournament history.Edey needs four points to become the fifth player in NCAA history, and the first since Larry Bird in 1979, to have at least 950 points and 450 rebounds in a season, ranking second in Purdue history in points and first in rebounds in a season.

ROSEMONT, Ill. – Purdue center Zach Edey added to his trophy collection today, as the senior was named National Player of the Year by the Associated Press (AP) and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).Edey has now earned Players of the Year accolades from the AP, NABC, Sporting News, and USBWA this season and collected 10 such honors over the last two seasons. Should he receive the Wooden and Naismith Awards, which will be awards over the next several days, he would become the first player since Bill Walton in 1972 and 1973 to sweep all six major awards in consecutive seasons.Edey is the first repeat winner of the USBWA’s Oscar Robertson Award for the nation’s top player since Ralph Sampson did so in 1980-82. He is also the second Boilermaker to claim the award, joining Glen Robinson in 1994, and gives the Big Ten three of the last four winners (Iowa center Luka Garza in 2020-21).Edey received 57 of the 62 to earn the AP Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season. Edey is the fifth player to win the award in consecutive seasons though Lew Alcindor also won the award twice in non-consecutive seasons.For the second consecutive season, Edey’s exploits have dominated the season. The Toronto, Canada native is averaging a Division I-leading 25.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.1 assists per game in all games played.Edey is one of seven players in NCAA history to tally at least 925 points and 450 rebounds in a season, ranking third in Purdue history in points and first in rebounds in a season. He and Shaquille O’Neal are the only players in NCAA history to average 25.0 points per game, 12.0 rebounds per game, 2.0 blocks per game and shoot at least 62 percent from the field in a season.Edey has produced against the nation's best teams, averaging a combined 41.0 points, rebounds and assists against high-major opposition, currently the first player in at least the last 15 years to average a combined 40 points, rebounds and assists against high-major opposition.That trend has continued into the NCAA Tournament, where Edey is one of four players (Edey, Elvin Hayes, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain) to average at least 30.0 points and 15.0 rebounds in the first four NCAA Tournament games. He will carry a string of five straight NCAA Tournament games of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds into Saturday’s Final Four contest against North Carolina State, tied with Navy's David Robinson (1986) for the longest streak in NCAA history.
