The list includes the 30 players, considered to be the best at this point in the season, by the Wooden Award Committee.

At the end of the regular season, the list will be narrowed to 10. After the postseason tournaments, one player will be given the John R. Wooden Award, presented to the best player in college basketball.

Rush had been named to the watch list before the season began. He was named among the five best players in the country to start the season by the Associated Press. Rush shared preseason Big 12 Player of the Year honors with teammate Julian Wright.

He has averaged 14.3 points and six rebounds per game for the Jayhawks, numbers that have both increased since the start of conference play.

Other Big 12 players on the list include Mario Boggan of Oklahoma State, Kevin Durant of Texas, Jarrius Jackson of Texas Tech and Acie Law of Texas A&M.;

Law and Rush will face off Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
