UConn junior forward Maya Moore and senior center Tina Charles were among 21 players named as midseason candidates for the Wooden Award.

Moore, who won the award last season, leads UConn with a scoring average of 19 points per game, is second in rebounding (7.1) and has team-best totals of 25 3-pointers and 35 steals heading into tonight's game against Marquette.

Charles is second on the team in scoring (17.6 points per game) while leading the way in rebounding (8.5) and blocks (24 in 15 games).

There are 21 candidates instead of 20 because of a tie in the voting.
