The race for the Wooden Award is down to two players, including Auburn's Johni Broome. Here are the college basketball National Player of the Year odds and best bets.

Johni Broome’s father didn’t even take the time to change out of his work clothes before driving to his son’s high school basketball practice and taking a seat in the bleachers. He needed to see for himself why Johni’s extra work after practices hadn’t translated into more playing time.

Johni Broome is in his third season with Auburn, and he is certainly leaving it all out on the court for his final season in an Auburn uniform. The fifth-year season, who transferred from Morehead State is not just having the best season of his time at Auburn,

Those two players are Auburn’s Johni Broome and Duke’s Cooper Flagg, the two most captivating players in men’s college basketball this season and likely the only two with a realistic shot at winning National Player of the Year.

First, it is the Auburn Tigers fifth-year senior forward/center Johni Broome. On the other side is Duke’s true freshman Cooper Flagg. ESPN’s Peter Burns thinks it’s clear that the Auburn star should be the pick for the award.
