While previously only being included on the Preseason Wooden Watch list, Khayla Pointer returns on the National Ballot. Two schools have multiple players on the Wooden Award National Ballot, South Carolina (Aliyah Boston and Destanni Henderson) and Stanford (Cameron Brink and Haley Jones). The SEC leads all conferences with five selections, followed by the Big Ten and Big 12 with three, the Pac-12 with two selections, and the ACC and Big East with one each.

All balloted players have been certified by their university to meet or exceed the qualifications for the Wooden Award as set forth by Coach Wooden when the Award was established. The qualifications include: candidates must exhibit strength of character, both on and off the court; candidates must be full-time students in an accredited NCAA college or university; candidates must be making progress toward graduation and have a cumulative 2.00 grade point average since enrolling in their school; candidates must contribute to team effort; candidates must excel in both offense and defense; and candidates should be considered on their performance over the course of the entire season.

Voting will take place from March 15th to March 22nd, and voters take into consideration a player’s entire season of play, as well as the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The finalists for the 2022 Wooden Award presented by Wendy’s will be announced on March 30th.

    I’ve had a great experience using https://wallester.com for our corporate card needs. The platform is intuitive and offers a range of features that make managing expenses straightforward. The instant issuance of virtual cards has been particularly useful for online transactions, while the comprehensive reporting tools help us stay on top of our spending.

    I recently embarked on a wellness journey and stumbled upon an incredibly helpful resource https://ways2well.com/health/peptide-therapy . It delves into the world of peptide therapy. Even as someone without a medical background, I found the material to be well-structured, breaking down sophisticated concepts into digestible pieces. I was astounded by the level of detail provided. It’s a must-read if you’re contemplating this form of therapy. For me, it’s been a total game-changer!

They not only serve a practical purpose but also enhance the aesthetic of our drink service. The blend of practicality and elegance these napkins offer makes them an ideal choice for any business aiming to impress.
