The awards are announced before the Final Four games. Of course there
could be some extraordinary performance of some players in the final
games, which may effect this awards.
But we intentionally did not want the Final Four games to influence
those awards.
This year awards were dominated by import players. Surprisingly the top
import players were also outside of the U.S.
Top two guards were
Luis Flores from Dominican Rep. and
Michael Hicks originally from Panama. Best center is
Uchenna Nsonwu who comes from Nigeria.
