Stay connected for news and updates

The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced the Naismith winner on Sunday. Anthony Davis, winner of several other POY awards has now pulled down the big one. The Naismith Player Of The Year Award. Davis was also named winner of the Wooden Award on Saturday and The Associated Press Player of the Year on Friday.

Davis is the first player from Kentucky to win the award and the second freshman, joining Texas' Kevin Durant in 2007. He is the first Naismith Trophy winner from the Southeastern Conference since LSU's Pete Maravich in 1970.

If Anthony and his cohorts can pull off the win tomorrow night against the Kansas Jayhawks, It will cap what will have been the most successful season for a Freshman in the history of the NCAA. The Wildcats will be hard pressed to find anyone who can fill this young man's shoes come next season. Anthony Davis, Wildcat For A Season, Wildcat For Life!
