Here is the result in plain text:
JuJu Watkins, USC
Sophomore wing
24.4 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 3.6 apg, 2.1 spg, 2.0 bpg
The fact that the race for national player of the year was undecided until the penultimate day of the season, and that finally — on the last day — the choice became unanimously Watkins, says a lot about the sophomore’s ability to rise to the biggest moments of the year.
…
Lauren Betts, UCLA
Junior center
19.7 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 2.7 apg, 2.8 bpg
Only four power conference players in the past decade have averaged 19-plus points, nine-plus rebounds, and 2.5-plus assists through a full season: Napheesa Collier, Aerial Powers, Nia Coffey … and now Betts.
…
Hannah Hidalgo, Notre Dame
Sophomore guard
24.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.6 spg
Few players, if any, can stat-stuff like Hidalgo.
…
Paige Bueckers, UConn
Fifth-year senior guard
18.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 4.9 apg, 2 spg
After her (in all likelihood) final regular-season game in Gampel Pavilion, Bueckers was inducted into the Huskies’ Ring of Honor and added to UConn’s impressive list of national players of the year, marking the near end of a remarkable college career.
…
Madison Booker, Texas
Sophomore wing
16.0 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2.9 apg, 1.6 spg
One of the best freshman classes in recent memory has only gotten better as sophomores, with Watkins and Hidalgo reprising their 2024 All-America campaigns and Booker joining them on this year’s first team.
…
Aneesah Morrow, LSU
Senior forward
17.8 ppg, 14.1 rpg, 2.6 spg
The double-double queen has had at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in 26 of her 30 games this season and is leading the country in offensive rebounds and total boards.
…
Ta’Niya Latson, Florida State
Junior guard
26.0 ppg, 4.8 apg, 4.6 rpg
Latson is one of the nation’s most prolific offensive players.
…
Olivia Miles, Notre Dame
Senior guard
16.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 6.0 apg, 41.3 3-pt FG%
Miles was arguably the country’s best passer before tearing her ACL, capable of manipulating the defense in the half court and in transition with brute force and flair.
…
Sarah Strong, UConn
Freshman forward
16.1 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 3.4 apg, 2.3 spg, 1.5 bpg
Since 2009, the only player to ever have a 15-point, eight-rebound, three-assist season as a freshman is Strong.
…
Mikayla Blakes, Vanderbilt
Freshman guard
23.1 ppg, 3.1 apg, 45.7 FG%
It didn’t even take a full season for Blakes to arrive in Nashville and change the Commodores’ trajectory.
