Penn State Hoops’ Jalen Pickett Named Top 10 Candidate For Bob Cousy Point Guard Of The Year Award

The awards keep rolling in for Jalen Pickett, folks.

Pickett, Penn State men’s basketball captain and senior point guard, was named a top 10 candidate for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award, an honor given to the nation’s best point guard in men’s Division I college basketball.

Pickett is the lone representative of the Big Ten among the finalists.

Pickett has had a stellar year leading the Nittany Lion offense and is currently the only player in the country averaging 17 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists per game.

Pickett became the second player in Penn State basketball history to record a triple-double during the Nittany Lions’ battle with Butler, while also picking up six double-doubles throughout the course of this year’s campaign.

The Cousy Award is just another in the long list of awards Pickett has been nominated for this season, including the Wooden Award Watch List, the Oscar Robertson Watch List, and the Sporting News Midseason All-American Third Team.

Later this month, a committee will meet to determine the five finalists for the Cousy Award.

Penn State fans can vote for Pickett beginning Friday, February 10, at this link.
