Mississippi State sophomore guard Victoria Vivians was added to her third player of the year watch list on Thursday.
Having been previously selected to both the Wooden Award and Ann Meyers Drysdale Award watch lists, Vivians was picked to the Naismith Trophy Early Season watch list on Thursday.
“I am blessed to be considered with so many great players for this award,” Vivians said. “The Naismith Trophy is such a prestigious award, and to be considered for it is a tremendous honor. I wouldn’t be in this position without some great teammates and coaches, and I just want to do what I can to support them and help our team achieve our goals.
