That’s right. Three.

Last year, you might have been able to find three at both Kentucky and Duke. This time? It’s Kentucky guard Jamal Murray, Duke forward Brandon Ingram and LSU’s do-it-all Ben Simmons.

The seniors include presumed frontrunner Buddy Hield of Oklahoma, Denzel Valentine of Michigan State, underrated Malcolm Brogdon of Virginia and Wichita State guard Fred VanVleet.

There are six schools with two players each: Iowa State (forward Georges Niang and guard Monte Morris); Kentucky (Murray and guard Tyler Ulis); Kansas (forward Perry Ellis and wing Wayne Selden); Providence (forward Ben Bentil and guard Kris Dunn); Gonzaga (center Domantas Sabonis and forward Kyle Wiltjer) and Duke (Ingram and guard Grayson Allen).

The Atlanta Tipoff Club, which sponsors the award, generally releases 30 names at this time of year but chose to put 35 on the list because of ties in the balloting.
