There is no doubt about whether or not he'll collect a trophy there. Hield has already been announced as the Oscar Robertson National Player of the Year Award winner.

That was one of two player of the year awards Hield picked up at the Final Four. He also won the Naismith College Player of the Year Award in Houston, adding to The Sporting News award he received late in the season.

Valentine was Hield's toughest competition for the awards, and Valentine did win The Associated Press and National Association of Basketball Coaches player of the year awards.

But the awards that considered even part of the NCAA Tournament heavily favored Hield, who was dominant in the tournament.
