Real quick what does Colorado basketball have in common with these programs: Gonzaga, Michigan State, Duke, Syracuse & Purdue?
The answer is these six schools are the only teams with at least 2 candidates for the 2010-2011 Wooden Award: Colorado (Alec Burks, Cory Higgins); Duke (Nolan Smith, Kyle Singler); Gonzaga (Steven Gray, Elias Harris); Michigan State (Kalin Lucas, Durrell Summers); Purdue (Robbie Hummel, E'Twaun Moore, JaJuan Johnson); Syracuse (Kris Johnson, Brandon Triche).
So while in no way does this make one think Colorado will be dueling with Duke in the Final Four, it's a good situation for new coach Tad Boyle to step into at Boulder.
The Big 12 had 5 additional players listed among the 50 in the preseason list.
LaceDarius Dunn - Baylor Bears
Jacob Pullen - Kansas State Wildcats
Marcus Morris - Kansas Jayhawks
Jordan Hamilton - Texas Longhorns

Dunn is Done
At least in terms of Wppden Award. he may (and can) end up as B12 POY, but he won’t be able to win the national award for off the court reason.
I voted Pullen, who I think might be the third best player in the league (Dunn and, wait for it,… Burks) but will get more recognition that the other two.
He may not be as talented as Dunn or Burks
but let me ask you this, Who do you want to have the ball with 10 seconds left on the clock?

Zaire
hit a ton of big shots, but versus Xavier I would have wanted Pullen with ball over Taylor. In a game vs KU, you wanted Taylor

Taylor was light's out in those few games
But Taylor isn’t a Wooden candidate.
Xavier Game = Best. Game. Ever.

...and in a game vs Texas...
that same week you wanted Zaire. Might have been the best week of hoops for Tiger fans in some time (until the Elite 8 run later that year)
Why is Jordan Hamilton on this list?
That doesn’t make any sense to me.
