Turner dominates player-of-year voting
INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio State junior swingman Evan Turner is the runaway choice as The Associated Press' college basketball player of the year.
Turner
The 6-foot-7 Turner, who averaged 20.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists, received 54 votes from the 65-member national media panel.
Turner missed six games after breaking bones in his back when he fell after a dunk in December. The Buckeyes went .500 without him and then went on to win the Big Ten championship after he returned.
He is the first Ohio State player to win the award since Gary Bradds in 1964. Jerry Lucas of the Buckeyes won it in 1961 and 1962.
Kentucky freshman John Wall received nine votes, while Da'Sean Butler of West Virginia and Luke Harangody of Notre Dame each got one.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Jim Boeheim is The Associated Press' college basketball coach of the year.
His Syracuse team was unranked in the preseason and rose to No. 1.
Boeheim received 38 votes from the 65-member national media panel, well ahead of Kansas State's Frank Martin, who had eight.
The Orange, who lost their top three scorers from last season, finished 30-5 and were a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. They reached No. 1 in the AP media and ESPN/USA Today coaches' polls. The No. 1 ranking in the AP poll was Syracuse's first since 1990.
Boeheim, a Hall of Fame coach, holds the Division I record with 32 20-win seasons, and his 829 victories are sixth-best all-time and second among active coaches.
