<p class="MsoBodyText"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">SPRINGFIELD, Mass. –</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> Baylor women’s basketball’s Sarah Andrews was named to the 2024 Nancy Lieberman Award Preseason Watch List, the Naismith Basketball Hall
of Fame and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced Monday. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Now in its 24th year, the award recognizes the top point guard in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A unanimous preseason all-conference pick, Andrews brings the most playing experience in a Baylor uniform back to a loaded 2023-24 roster for the Bears. The two-time all-Big 12 selection earned a WBCA All-America
Honorable Mention after a successful junior season. In games against AP Top 25 teams last year, Andrews averaged 16.9 points per game in nearly 39 minutes of action. She reached double-figure scoring in 15 of 18 Big 12 games with 20-plus point performances
in six of those contests and a career-best 30-point outpouring in a top-25 win on the road at Oklahoma. She is one of five Lieberman Award candidates from the Big 12.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2024 Nancy Lieberman Award will be narrowed to 10, and then in late February to just five. In March, the five finalists will be presented to Lieberman
and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee, where a winner will be selected. <o:p>
