Michigan’s Hunter Dickinson and Caleb Houstan are in the running for national awards.
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced this week that Dickinson and Houstan are among 10 semifinalists for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award and Julius Erving Award, annual honors that recognize the top center and small forward, respectively, in Division I men’s college basketball.
Dickinson, who was also a semifinalist last year, ranks fourth in the Big Ten in field-goal percentage (59.5%), seventh in scoring (17.5 points) and seventh in rebounding (8.2) and has posted eight 20-point games this season.
