    2021 JERSEY MIKE’S NAISMITH TROPHY WATCH LIST HEADLINED BY TWO FORMER AWARD WINNERS AND ONE 2020 FINALIST New Season Tips Off with 50 Players to Watch Competing for the Top Honor in Men’s College Basketball ATLANTA (November 19, 2020) – The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today the 2021 Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy Watch List, which includes the 2020 Jersey Mike’s Naismith High School Trophy winner, Cade Cunningham, now a freshman at Oklahoma State University, the 2020 Naismith Men’s Defensive Player of the Year winner, Marcus Garrett from Kansas, and Iowa’s Luka Garza, who was a finalist for the 2020 Men’s Player of the Year honor. Gonzaga leads the 50-player watch list with four players included on the list, followed by Duke, which has won more Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophies (8) than any other school. Seven schools have two players represented include Baylor, Illinois, Kentucky, LSU, North Carolina, Stanford and Villanova. Overall, the ACC and Big Ten top the list, each with eight players represented, while the Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC are close runners-up with six candidates on the watch list. “The beginning of the season is filled with excitement, optimism and anticipation as each team and every player is undefeated, making the race for the Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy wide open. While these 50 candidates are those to keep an eye on, there will be plenty of others who will enter the competition throughout the season,” said Eric Oberman, executive director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. “This year will be especially exciting as players who were unable to finish their seasons last year have even more to prove.” A list of the midseason 30 team will be released in early February, followed by the 10 national semifinalists and four finalists on March 4, 2021, and March 16, 2021, respectively.

  • Iowa's Luka Garza Is the Recipient of the 2021 Lute
    www.LuteOlsonAward.com April 1, 2021 IOWA’S LUKA GARZA IS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2021 LUTE OLSON NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD BOSTON, MA -- Iowa’s Luka Garza is the recipient of the 2021 Lute Olson award. The 6-foot-11 senior averaged 24.1 points, 8.7 rebounds per game and shot 55.3% from the field on the season. He led the nation in total points (747); player efficiency rating (35.84); 30-point games (8); field goals made (281); and 20-point games (22). Garza ranked fifth nationally in free throw attempts (199), eighth in free throw makes (141), and 11th in double-doubles (13). His 747 points bested his previous school single-season record of 740 points set last season. “It has been a pleasure to watch Luka Garza play basketball, over the past four seasons,” said Angela Lento Vice President of CollegeInsider.com. “It’s difficult to come up with superlatives to describe his game that haven’t already been used a thousand times, but one word seems to fit… Winner. Luka Garza is a winner.” This season the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year broke Iowa’s 32-year old scoring record held by Roy Marble on Feb. 21. He finished his Hawkeye career with 2,306 points rank seventh-best in Big Ten history. In his final game as a Hawkeye, the Washington D.C. native had 36 points and nine rebounds. The 36 points are the most points scored by any Division I player in the 2021 NCAA Tournament and tied Bill Logan’s school record set against Temple on March 22, 1956.
