This is March!
That means it’s time for some end of season awards.
Check out below for an in-depth list of the top players in college basketball during the 20-21 season, featuring the College Hoops Today National Player of the Year and our first, second, and third team All-Americans:
College Hoops Today National Player of the Year
Iowa’s Luka Garza: Illinois’ Ayo Dosunmu was a close second for this award, but it ultimately goes to Garza. College basketball hasn’t had a player this decorated over a four-year career since Tyler Hansbrough was at North Carolina. The 6-11 big man has gotten better every season, as evidenced by his ability to shoot a blistering 45.5 percent from three-point range this year as a senior. Garza shot just 29.2 percent from long distance as a junior. He also has had nine games this season with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.
