On Monday, Wisconsin Badgers senior point guard D’Mitrik Trice was named to the preseason watch list for the Bob Cousy Award, given annually since 2004 to the best point guard in the country.
The official website for the award notes: “A Basketball Hall of Famer since 1971, Mr. Cousy wanted to continue both his legacy and ensure that the best point guards in the collegiate game are appropriately recognized. Since 2004, the Cousy Award has both recognized some of the games’ best players and students.”
Trice is a three time Academic All-Big Ten member and was named Third-Team All-Big Ten last season for the regular season B1G champion Badgers.
