Pritchard Makes Cut for Wooden, Cousy Watch Lists
02/03/20 | Men's Basketball
EUGENE, ORE. – Senior Payton Pritchard made the cut for both the Wooden Award list and the Bob Cousy Award list on Monday.
Pritchard was one of 20 players nationally named to the Wooden Award Late Season Top 20 Watch List and is one of 10 final candidates for the 2020 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. Pritchard is the only player from the Pac-12 on the Wooden list.
A two-time national player of the week honoree this season (Oscar Robertson Trophy, NCAA.com), Pritchard leads the nation with 132 consecutive starts. He is the only player in Pac-12 history with 1,500 career points, 600 career assists and 500 career rebounds.
He is one of three players nationally leading his conference in both scoring (19.6 points per game) and assists (5.8 per game) and is one of three players nationally averaging at least 19 points, four rebounds and five assists per game. He is the only player from the Power Six conference leading his league in scoring and assists.
Already the school's record holder in assists (621) and wins (99), Pritchard is also on pace to become the school's career leader in steals, games started and games played.
In addition to the Wooden and Cousy awards, Pritchard has been named to the Pac-12 preseason first team, the Battle 4 Atlantis all-tournament team, the Sporting News Midseason All-America team, the Naismith Trophy watch list and the Oscar Robertson Trophy watch list this season.
The Cousy award list will be pared down to five finalists in March.
Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will go live on Friday at via www.hoophallawards.com.
The winner of the Cousy and Wooden awards will be presented at The College Basketball Awards presented by Wendy's in Los Angeles on Friday, April 10, 2020.
No. 14 Oregon visits Oregon State Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the first Civil War meeting of the year.
