Frank is halfway to NCAA "Consensus NPOY" status
The Sporting News
Associated Press
USBWA announcement is due tomorrow, March 31.
NABC announcement will probably be over FF weekend.
Note that the NCAA does not use either the Wooden or Naismith awards in determining consensus status.
But who else are those stalwarts going to choose?
The only logical choice is our man Frank!

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”
1936 inscription on the portrait of Dr. Naismith, displayed above Phog Allen's office desk at KU.
It's official:
Consensus NPOY!
Congratulations to an exceptional player, young man, and steward of our university.
Simply outstanding.

I echo everyone's congratulations--what a wonderful young man and very deserving. Glad to see he didn't get overshadowed in peoples minds by the Dookies and UNC's.
So the Wooden award is the only one left? As far as I could tell, he's gotten them all so far including of course the big one--Naismith. I read that there was only one year in which the Wooden and Naismith did NOT go to the same player so keeping fingers crossed! Hopefully that UCLA connection with the Ball kid doesn't screw up that award!

Does anyone know if POY awards are historically unambitious? Or would it be a rare event for all NPOY's be awarded to a single player?

From my post just above yours - "•Should Mason win the Wooden Award, he would become the third student-athlete in the last four years to sweep the national player of the year honors. Creighton's Doug McDermott swept in 2014 as did Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky in 2015."
So, not so unusual at least recently.

1936 inscription on the portrait of Dr. Naismith, displayed above Phog Allen's office desk at KU.
Fingers crossed...
Very sad line from Tait:
With that, his Kansas career will officially be over, when the walk to accept the Wooden Award — should he win it — will mark the final time that Mason represents KU on a national stage.
Some things you just never want to see end...
