Western Kentucky sophomore center Charles Bassey has been selected for the watch list for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, as announced Thursday by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.
Bassey is one of 46 members of the watch list for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, presented annually to the men’s national player of the year.
Since its founding in 1956, the USBWA has named a national player of the year. In the 1997-98 season, the award was named in honor of the legendary Oscar Robertson, "The Big O." In addition, the USBWA selects an All-America team and All-District teams, players and coaches of the year.
