WACO, Texas – The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association named Baylor junior forward Lauren Cox as one of 20 players on the watch list for the Katrina McClain Award, announced Thursday.

Cox, who earned a spot on the final five for the award last season after averaging 15.3 points and 9.7 rebounds along with 92 blocks on the year, is on the prestigious list again. The McClain watch list is among several other preseason accolades the third-year forward has earned including Preseason Second-Team All-America honors by Athlon Sports and Street & Smith’s. Cox was also selected as a member of the 2018-19 Preseason All-Big 12 team.

McClain was a three-time Olympian for USA Basketball and a two-time Kodak All-American and WBCA Player of the Year for the University of Georgia. By mid-February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2019 Katrina McClain Award will be narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. McClain-Pittman and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee. Fans will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist at www.hoophallawards.com<http://www.hoophallawards.com>.
