There have been a few men’s basketball players who have won the award multiple times, including Bob Kurland (twice), Alex Grosa (twice), Jerry Lucas (twice), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (three times), and Bill Walton (twice.) Walton last won the award in 1973, so it has been 50 years since the last player won back-to-back Most Outstanding Player awards.
For the women, Cheryl Miller (twice), Chamique Holdsclaw (twice), Diana Taurasi (twice), Candace Parker (twice), and Breanna Stewart (four times) are the only multi-time winners of the NCAA Most Outstanding Player award.
