Timme Named to Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 Watch List
Gonzaga’s Drew Timme was named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 Watch List Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Athletic Club announced the John R. Wooden Award presented by Wendy’s Midseason Top 25 Watch List on ESPN2. Chosen by a poll of national college basketball experts based on their performances during the 2022-23 season thus far, the list comprises of 25 student-athletes who are front-runners for the sport’s most prestigious honor.
Timme recently moved past Elias Harris into fourth on the program’s career scoring list with 1,861 points, just six points behind Adam Morrison at No. 3. Timme is averaging a WCC-best 22.7 points, but over the past seven games he’s scoring at a 27.3 clip on 70-percent field-goal accuracy.
Timme's 22.7 points per game ranks fourth in the nation and tops the West Coast Conference. He also leads the conference shooting 65.9 percent from the field, which is eighth in the country. He is second in NCAA Div. 1 with 137 made field goals and third with 340 total points.
The winner of the 2023 John R. Wooden Award will be presented by Wendy’s following the NCAA Tournament in April.
