Marcus Denmon has had an exceptional season this season for the Missouri Tigers.
And the national media has taken notice.
Earlier this week it was announced that Denmon was one of 30 players named to the mid-season Naismith Award List.
“These players have shown incredible skill and heart,” said Eric Oberman, Atlanta Tipoff Club executive director. “They are elevating the game of basketball and making the race for this year’s prestigious Naismith Trophy one of the most exciting in years.”
The list was compiled based on criteria of player performances during the 2010-2011 season and the award winner will be named during this year's Final Four.
Denmon is averaging 16.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game for the Tigers this season while shooting 45.3% from 3 point range.
Other Big 12 players on the Naismith Award List include Kansas City Missouri native Alec Burks of Colorado and Marcus Morris of Kansas.
