USC’s JuJu Watkins and Duke’s Cooper Flagg are adding more hardware to their trophy cases.

Watkins, a sophomore guard, won the women’s award. She beat out UConn’s Paige Bueckers, who won in 2021, by 46 votes. Watkins averaged 24.6 points per game for the Trojans before suffering a season-ending ACL injury in their second-round NCAA Tournament win over Mississippi State.

The other finalists were Lauren Betts of UCLA, Madison Booker of Texas and Hannah Hidalgo of Notre Dame.

Flagg, a freshman forward, was named the John R. Wooden Award winner as the nation’s top men’s player, beating Auburn’s Johni Broome by 178 votes on Saturday. He is Duke’s eighth Wooden winner, the most of any school.

Flagg averaged 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists while leading the Blue Devils to the Final Four.

The other finalists were Walter Clayton Jr. of Florida, Mark Sears of Alabama and Braden Smith of Purdue.

Flagg and Watkins were honored as the The Associated Press players of the year.
