Finalists
The list does not include Alabama first-year player Brandon Miller, who is averaging 19.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game for a Crimson Tide team widely projected to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
No official reasoning was given for the omission, but it comes while Miller is facing scrutiny after police testified in February that he transported a gun to ex-teammate Darius Miles that was later used in a shooting that killed Jamea Jonae Harris. Miller is not considered a suspect in the shooting.
Miller has remained on the team and will play Saturday against Texas A&M.
