Dinnebier & Yong On the Watch List
(Hopewell, NJ) – We are proud to announce the 15-player midseason watch list for the 2024 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award presented by Her Hoop Stats. The Becky Hammon Award was first given out in 2020, with South Dakota’s Ciara Duffy being named the inaugural winner. FGCU’s Kierstan Bell won the award in 2021 and 2022, and Massachusetts’ Sam Breen won the most recent award in 2023.
This year’s midseason list includes representatives from 14 teams and 10 conferences. Five conferences – the MEAC, Mountain West, Missouri Valley, Sun Belt, and WCC – placed two players on the watch list. Norfolk State becomes the third team (Ohio – 2021, Gonzaga – 2023) to place multiple players on a single midseason watch list.
Murray State’s Katelyn Young becomes just the second player to be named to the midseason watch list three times, joining Dyaisha Fair who did so three times for Buffalo.
Drake’s Katie Dinnebier joins the watch list. Herhoopsstats.com says “The junior guard is on pace to become the first player in the HHS Era to average at least 1.40 points per scoring attempt on 10-plus shots per game while also assisting on at least 40% of their teammates’ made field goals while on the court.”
The above is a part of a press release from herhoopsstats.com.

Opening round of #ArchMadness is today. The only quarterfinal we know is @UIC_MBB v @RacersHoops tomorrow at 2:30. We look at their contrasting styles heading into the @MVCsports tournament. #FatherHarry
Don't look now, but @BustingBrackets tells us some of the hottest teams coming into #ArchMadness aren't the teams at the top of the bracket. @ValpoBasketball, @SIU_Basketball & @UNImbb shouldn't be overlooked. #FatherHarry
ICYMI: @BelmontMBB & @BradleyUMBB are two of the best at being committed to development and succeeding at the same time. #ArchMadness
Congrats to @RogerPowellJr, @CoachJonny_B & @NdotSmitty being named to the Ben Jobe Award finalist list. Well deserved!
