EUGENE, Ore. - The Oregon women's basketball team had a trio of player named to the Naismith Trophy watch list on Monday, given annually to the national player of the year.
Oregon's three selections - junior Sabrina Ionescu, junior Ruthy Hebard and sophomore Satou Sabally - are tied with Baylor and UConn for second most in the nation, behind only Notre Dame (5).
The 50 player preseason watch list will be cut down to a midseason list of 30 players, then a list of 10 semifinalists before a group of four finalists are selected.
