Missouri senior guard J.T. Tiller is one of 50 players on the preseason list of candidates for the Wooden Award.

Five other Big 12 Conference players are on the preseason list, including Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins of Kansas, Craig Brackins of Iowa State, Damion James of Texas and Willie Warren of Oklahoma.
