After a championship season in the Big Ten conference, Wisconsin PG D’Mitrik Trice has been named to the 2020-2021 Bob Cousy Award watch list. Each year, the award goes to the best point guard in college basketball.
Trice is one of 20 players around the country that earned their way on to the initial list. The Badger guard is joined by Big Ten stars Geo Baker (Rutgers) and Ayo Dosunmu (Illinois).
Coming off of a season in which Trice elevated his game during an eight-game winning streak en route to a conference title, the senior guard is ready to lead an experienced Wisconsin unit. The Ohio native finished last season averaging 9.8 points, 4.2 assists, and over 4 rebounds per contest.
The award is named after Boston Celtics legend and six-time NBA champion Bob Cousy, who was an outstanding college PG at Holy Cross in the late 1940’s.
