The 1986 recipient of both the John R. Wooden Award, as the nation's top collegiate player, and the Adolph R. Rupp Trophy, given to the college basketball player of the year by the Associated Press, Berry was also named Kodak Player of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and added Player of the Year honors from UPI, The Sporting News, Basketball Weekly and CBS/Chevrolet. Berry, who scored 828 points as a junior to shatter the school's single season scoring record, also earned AP and UPI first team All America honors and was named the BIG EAST Player of the Year in 1986.
