Yoshinori pulled off the impossible, becoming the first freshman to score National Player of the Year honors.
North Carolina A&T won their 2nd title in 3 years, this time, becoming the first team to complete an undefeated season since 1950 (San Diego State 38-0) and only the 2nd school ever to do it.
Georgia & Pittsburgh made the Final Four for the first time ever and Utah State returned for the 5th time (3rd time since 2005) in school history, but the first time since joining the Pac-12 replacing UCLA when they moved to the Big 12.
