Daum named to Naismith Trophy Midseason List
2/13/2019 9:07:00 AM | Men's Basketball
ATLANTA -- South Dakota State's Mike Daum was named among 30 players on the 2019 Citizen Naismith Trophy Player of the Year midseason watch list, announced Wednesday by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.Â
Daum, who is one of two players nationally to average over 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, is closing in on the illustrious 3,000-point mark with 2,883 career points. He ranks 14th on the NCAA"s all-time scoring list and has helped the Jackrabbits put together a 20-6 mark on the year. The Kimball, Nebraska native was named to the late season watch lists for the Karl Malone Award and John R. Wooden® Award last week.
"We've seen some amazing games and matchups this season between the players on this list and across the college basketball landscape," said Eric Oberman, executive director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. "The competition for the 2019 Citizen Naismith Trophy will only get more intense as the regular season hits the final few weeks, and conference titles are on the line."
On March 4, 2019, the list will narrow even further to 10 national semifinalists. The four finalists will be announced on March 19, 2019, and fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite player leading up to the final announcement. The 2019 Citizen Naismith Trophy will be awarded at the Naismith Awards Brunch presented by Mortenson on April 7, 2019, during the Final Four in Minneapolis. Only players on the midseason team are eligible to advance to the next round.
"Each of the 30 players on the midseason team display the talent and drive worthy of the Citizen Naismith Trophy," said Eric Horowitz, managing director U.S. and travel retail, Citizen Watch Company of America, Inc. "We are looking forward to watching these men compete at the highest level, and we get closer to awarding the Player of the Year honor."
