Candidates announced for the 2019 Cheryl Miller Award for nation’s top small forward
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced the 20 watch list candidates for the 2019 Cheryl Miller Award. The award recognizes the top small forwards in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball.
The award’s selection committee includes media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers. The list will be narrowed to 10 in mid-February. Fans will have a chance to vote for the five finalists who will be announced in March. The winner of the award will be revealed at the 2019 Final Four in Tampa. Players can play their way onto and off of the list at any point in the 2018-19 season.
