The Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 was annoucned on Wednesday.
Creighton's Doug McDermott and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart might be the frontrunners, but Arizona's Nick Johnson, Duke's Jabari Parker, Iowa State's DeAndre Kane, Florida's Casey Prather and Syracuse's Tyler Ennis are viable candidates.
Joel Embiid is the most glaring omission from the list.
Victor Oladipo was not on the midseason list last season and became a finalist.
