With the start of the new college basketball season nearly upon us, the individual player awards are naming their respective watch lists. With UConn women’s basketball once again expected to be one of the best teams in the country, the Huskies will be well-represented on these watch lists.
Here’s how the selection process works: 20 players are named to the watch list in the preseason. Then in mid-February, that ground is cut in half to 10 players. The five finalists are chosen in March and the winner is announced during the Final Four in April.
- Crystal Dangerfield was named to the Nancy Lieberman Award watch list, given to the nation’s best point guard.
