UConn's Silas Demary Jr. earns spot on Bob Cousy Award watch list

Silas Demary Jr. of UConn has been named to the preseason watch list for the 2027 Bob Cousy Award, which recognizes the nation's top point guard. Demary had a standout previous season, showcasing a high assist rate, averaging 1.6 steals per game, and shooting nearly 40% from the arc. Despite his strong performance, he was not selected as a semifinalist for the award last season, prompting UConn coach Dan Hurley to voice his frustration. The list will be narrowed to 10 players in February, with five finalists announced in March. Fan voting begins on October 30 to help determine the final nominees.
