Anderson Named to Midseason Wooden Award List
James Anderson was named to the midseason John R. Wooden Award Top 30 list, announced the first week of January. The Cowboy junior was inexplicably left off the preseason list, but rightly added after the holiday break. Anderson is one of five players from the Big 12 Conference mentioned on the list, which also includes Texas' Damion James and the Kansas trio of Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins and Xavier Henry. This marks the 10th time in the last 12 seasons that OSU has had at least one player mentioned on the Wooden Award list, given annually to the nation's top player. Anderson joins Bryant Reeves (1995), Adrian Peterson (1999), Desmond Mason (2000), Maurice Baker (2002), John Lucas (2004, 2005), Joey Graham (2005), JamesOn Curry (2006, 2007) and Mario Boggan (2007) as Cowboys named to the Wooden Award list.
