A senior guard, Fredette averaged 28.5 points. The Cougars won the regular-season title in the Mountain West Conference and earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Fredette received the award Friday. He drew 48 votes from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the NCAA tournament.
UConn’s Kemba Walker finished a distant second in voting, followed by Duke’s Nolan Smith, and Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger. Fredette’s honor today comes as a surprise to no one. Jimmer was the front runner for the award since the second month of the regular season.
