Cole Anthony, Ashton Hagans, Tre Jones, Cassius Winston highlight Cousy Award list

North Carolina freshman Cole Anthony, Kentucky sophomore Ashton Hagans, Duke sophomore Tre Jones and Michigan State senior Cassius Winston highlight the Bob Cousy Award list issued Monday.

Named after Class of 1971 Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy, the annual honor now in its 17th year recognizes the top point guards in Division I men’s college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates, which includes four from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

New to the award this season is Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies in each of the three rounds. By mid-February, the watch list of 20 players for the Cousy Award will be narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Mr. Cousy and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee. The winner of the 2020 Bob Cousy Award will be presented at The College Basketball Awards presented by Wendy’s in Los Angeles on Friday, April 10, 2020.
