Women's Basketball's Sutton named top-10 finalist for Nancy Lieberman Award

Senior Texas point guard Sug Sutton is a top-10 finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced Monday.

In its 21st year, the Nancy Lieberman Award recognizes the top point guard in NCAA Division I women's basketball. To be considered for the award, candidates must exhibit the floor leadership, playmaking and ball-handling skills of Class of 1996 Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman.

In March, five finalists will be presented to Lieberman and the Hall of Fame's selection committee. The recipient of the 2020 Lieberman Award will be awarded at The College Basketball Awards in Los Angeles on Friday, April 10, along with the other four members of the Women's Starting Five.
