2011 Wooden Award: Jimmer Fredette, Maya Moore Take Home Player Of The Year Honors

Fredette edged Kemba Walker, picking up 3,761 votes to Walker’s 3,356. When asked to pick his favorite quote, an exercise all five finalists participated in, Fredette chose one of the more famous Wooden-isms about character.

Not surprisingly, UConn’s Maya Moore took home the Wooden Award as the best college basketball player on the women’s side for the second straight year. Moore, a dominant force for the Huskies, joined Seimone Augustus and Candace Parker as two-time winners of the award by edging Baylor’s Brittney Griner. Moore garnered 678 votes, followed by Griner at 566 and Gonzaga’s Courtney Vandersloot, who picked up 283 votes.
