Feb. 9, 2010

Kansas senior Sherron Collins is one of the final 11 candidates for the Bob Cousy Award, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Friday (Feb. 5).

The annual award is given to college basketball’s top point guard and is named after Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtics guard Bob Cousy. An original list of 73 candidates made up of players from Division I, II and III schools was trimmed by a Hall of Fame appointed, nationally based committee to 20 and now 11.

Beginning February 5, via the Bob Cousy Award’s website – www.cousyaward.com – fans will be able to vote for the top point guard. The player that receives the most fan votes will receive one vote toward the final committee vote. Fan voting will run one month.

Other candidates include Matt Bouldin (Gonzaga), Devan Downey (South Carolina), Trevon Hughes (Wisconsin), Jeremy Lin (Harvard), Kalin Lucas (Michigan State), Ronald Moore (Siena), Scottie Reynolds (Villanova), Jon Scheyer (Duke), Greivis Vasquez (Maryland) and John Wall (Kentucky).
