Zion Williamson of Duke and Sabrina Ionescu of Oregon won the John R. Wooden Awards as the nation's top men's and women's players at the College Basketball Awards on Friday night in Los Angeles.
Williamson received more hardware for his overstuffed trophy cabinet. The freshman has collected numerous awards — including the Associated Press player of the year — after leading the Blue Devils to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.
Williamson hasn't said he will leave Duke for the NBA. He came close Friday, when he said of his team, "The bond we had built is second to none so I know I'm going to miss that."
Ionescu, a junior, was a surprise winner on the women's side. The NCAA Division I leader in career triple-doubles with 18, she led the Ducks on a Final Four run.
Other winners were:
• R.J. Barrett of Duke, Jerry West Award for shooting guards.
• Rui Hachimura of Gonzaga, Julius Erving Award for small forwards.
• Williamson, Karl Malone Award for power forwards.
