On Monday, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced the watch list for the 2023 Nancy Lieberman Award, with one of those players being Syracuse’s Dyaisha Fair.

Candidates for the Lieberman Award were chosen because they “exhibit the floor leadership, playmaking, and ball-handling skills of Class of 1996 Hall-of-Famer Nancy Lieberman.
