Glenn Robinson

Glenn Robinson became the first player from Purdue University to win the Wooden Award. He was the most dominant player in college basketball, averaging 30.3 points and 11.2 rebounds per game, while becoming the first player since 1978 to lead the Big Ten Conference in both categories. He led the Boilermakers to a Big Ten Conference title and an Elite Eight appearance, finishing the season with a 29–5 record and a 3rd overall ranking. Leading the nation in scoring and becoming the conference's all-time single season points leader with 1,030 points, Robinson was unanimously selected as the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year. He also unanimously received the John R. Wooden Award and Naismith Award, the first national player of the year-honored Boilermaker since John Wooden himself did it in 1932 (who also wore the jersey No. 13). Robinson also was the recipient for the USBWA College Player of the Year.
