Ed O'Bannon

Ed O’Bannon became the second player from UCLA to win the Wooden Award, joining Marques Johnson, who was the first-ever recipient in 1977. A four-year letterman (1992-95) and three-year starter (1993-95), O'Bannon led the Bruins to a record 32 victories and the 1995 NCAA championship. During that championship season, O'Bannon was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Final Four and consensus All-American. Playing without point guard Tyus Edney in the finals, O'Bannon willed the Bruins to the NCAA championship by recording 30 points and 17 rebounds. As a senior, he finished second in Pac-10 scoring at 20.1 ppg, fourth in rebounds, second in three-point field goal percentage and scored a career high 37 points versus Duke. During his career, O'Bannon was named All-Pac-10 three times (1993, '94, '95) and was named honorable mention All-American in 1993 and third-team All-American in 1994. On UCLA's all-time lists, O'Bannon is sixth in career points (1815) and 10th in rebounds (820).
