LOS ANGELES – Gonzaga's
Drew Timme was named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 Watch List Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Athletic Club announced the John R. Wooden Award presented by Wendy's Midseason Top 25 Watch List on ESPN2. Chosen by a poll of national college basketball experts based on their performances during the 2022-23 season thus far, the list comprises of 25 student-athletes who are front-runners for the sport's most prestigious honor.
Timme recently moved past Elias Harris into fourth on the program's career scoring list with 1,861 points, just six points behind Adam Morrison at No. 3. Timme is averaging a WCC-best 22.7 points, but over the past seven games he's scoring at a 27.3 clip on 70-percent field-goal accuracy.
Timme's 22.7 points per game ranks fourth in the nation and tops the West Coast Conference. He also leads the conference shooting 65.9 percent from the field, which is eighth in the country. He is second in NCAA Div. 1 with 137 made field goals and third with 340 total points.
The players on the list are considered strong candidates for the 2023 John R. Wooden Award Men's Player of the Year presented by Wendy's. Players not chosen to the preseason or midseason list are still eligible for the Wooden Award National Ballot. The National Ballot consists of 15 top players who have proven to their universities that they meet or exceed the qualifications of the Wooden Award.
Nearly 1,000 voters will rank in order 10 of those 15 players when voting opens prior to the NCAA Tournament and will allow voters to take into consideration performance during early round games. The Wooden Award All American Team will be announced the week of the "Elite Eight" round of the NCAA Tournament. The winner of the 2023 John R. Wooden Award will be presented by Wendy's following the NCAA Tournament in April.
