Kaminsky and Stewart Win Wooden Awards

OS ANGELES -- Frank Kaminsky of national runner-up Wisconsin and Breanna Stewart of three-time national champion Connecticut have won John R. Wooden Awards as national college basketball players of the year.

They received their trophies Friday night during the first "College Basketball Awards Presented by Wendy's" show on ESPN2 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles.

For Kaminsky, it was the last in a raft of player of the year awards the senior center picked up this season. His name was announced by Greg Wooden, a grandson of the late UCLA coach. Earlier in the evening, Kaminsky won the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year trophy.

Both deserving, neither was a surprise.
