We like to keep track of who's nominated for the Wooden Award every season. They help us out by emailing us their press releases, which frees us from the embarassment of forgetting to check.

Pretty standard stuff. Top-heavy with ACC and Big East players. A handful of mid-major standouts to avoid charges of elitism. It's pretty meaningless until late February, but you can't win it if you ain't in it, so these are your big dogs.
