Wade Trophy Watch List
Marquette’s Allazia Blockton was one of 35 women’s basketball players named to the 2019 Wade Trophy Watch List on Tuesday. The Wade Trophy — now in its 42nd year — is the oldest and most prestigious national player of the year award in college women’s basketball. The “Wade Watch” list of candidates for the Wade Trophy is composed of players selected by the WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America Selection Committee. The committee will review the list in January to determine if additional players will be added based on their play during the first half of the 2018-19 season. Through four games this season, Blockton is averaging 17.8 points to lead the nationally ranked Golden Eagles.
