SELLAND HONORED AS BECKY HAMMON AWARD SEMIFINALIST
2/8/2023 10:05:00 AM | Women's Basketball
South Dakota State's Myah Selland has been named a semifinalist for the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award presented by Her Hoop Stats.
Selland is one of 10 semifinalists for the award. The redshirt senior is averaging 16.1 points and 6.4 rebounds for the Jacks in her final season, both team highs, to go with 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals per contest. Selland is shooting 51 percent from the field this year and 52 percent from the 3-point line. With Selland leading the way, SDSU is 20-5 on the season and 13-0 in Summit League play. The Jacks have won 13 straight games and 16 of their last 17 contests.
This is Selland's second appearance on the semifinalist list. She was a finalist for the Becky Hammon Award in the 2020-21 season.
This year's semifinalists include representatives from 10 schools and eight conferences. The Mountain West and WCC each have two semifinalists. In addition to Selland, Massachusetts' Sam Breen (2022) received her second semifinalist honors, while it is the first year for the other eight players. UNLV's Desi-Rae Young is the first player since 2021 to enter the semifinalist list after not making the 15-player midseason watch list.
Award Eligibility & Schedule
To be eligible for this award, players must compete in one of the 26 conferences deemed to be "mid-major." The following conferences are considered high-major for the purposes of this award, and thus ineligible: ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12, and SEC. In October, the 25-player preseason watch list was announced. The 15 midseason watch list members were announced in February, and the five finalists will be announced in early March. The winner will be announced in late March. The list is fluid and players may play their way on or off the list over the course of the season.
About Becky Hammon
Hammon was a three-time All-American during her career at Colorado State and led the Rams to the Sweet 16 in 1999, the program's only appearance to date. She was signed by the New York Liberty in 1999 and traded to the San Antonio Stars in 2007, where she played the rest of her career. Hammon retired in 2014 as a six-time All-Star and a two-time All-WNBA First Team honoree. In 2016 she was named one of the top 20 players in WNBA history and was recently named to the W25. Hammon became the second female coach in NBA history when she began coaching for the San Antonio Spurs in 2014. Additionally, Hammon is the only woman to be a head coach in the NBA Summer League as well as the only woman to be a member of an NBA All-Star coaching staff. Currently, Hammon is the head coach of the Las Vegas Aces and won the 2022 WNBA Championship in her first season.
