BOSTON, Mass. – The finalists for the 2015 Lou Henson Award were announced on Wednesday with Louisiana junior Shawn Long being named as one of the 31 finalists.
The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major player in Division I college basketball, while the finalists also represent the Lou Henson all-America team.
Long was named to the all-Sun Belt Conference first team at the end of the regular season for the second straight year and currently ranks as the only player in the SBC in the top five in both scoring (16.4 ppg) and rebounding (10.2 rpg).
He has scored in 23 of his last 24 games played and earlier this season posted the first 20-point, 20-rebound game by a Ragin' Cajun since 1981. Long has also moved into the all-time top 10 at UL in scoring, while ranking second in blocked shots and third all-time in rebounding.
Long is currently the active leader in the nation in double-doubles with 51 for his three-year career. Those efforts have helped him lead the Cajuns to a 22-win season and a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament quarterfinals where they will face Evansville on Thursday night at Blackham Coliseum.
The award is named in honor of Henson who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years. When he left the game in 2005 he was sixth all-time in Division wins with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State and is one of only 12 coaches in history to take two schools to the Final Four.
The 2015 recipient will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com Awards Banquet on April 3 in Indianapolis, site of the 2015 NCAA Basketball Championships.
