Heading over to the Orleans Arena for the GU women's semifinal against BYU at noon, but a little news to pass on first.

Gonzaga junior Kelly Olynyk is one of 15 finalists for the Wooden Award.

Olynyk, who averaged 17.7 points and 7 rebounds, was named the WCC player of the year earlier this week. Olynyk, Indiana's Victor Oladipo and Miami's Shane Larkin weren't on the award's mid-season top 25 but all three made the final ballot.
