TILMON ON WATCH LIST FOR NATIONAL CENTER OF THE YEAR AWARD

Mizzou junior Jeremiah Tilmon, Junior, is one of just 20 players in the nation named to the preseason watch list for the 2020 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year Award. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced the list on Friday. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. Tilmon averaged 10.1 points and 5.9 rebounds, and blocked a team-high 25 shots as a sophomore last season. There will be fan voting in each of the three rounds. By mid-February, the watch list will be narrowed down to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Abdul-Jabbar and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee. The winner will be announced in Los Angeles April 10th.
