My Wooden Award Top 20 List

The Wooden Award Committee will announce its Top 20 candidates for the 2010-2011 award next week. I am a voter for the award and the following is a look at my Top 20 listed by school. This year's Player of the Year choice is wide-open with several strong candidates, but no one has established himself as the clear cut winner in what could be the closest balloting of all-time.
