Wright State's Loudon Love has been named to the 2018-19 Lou Henson Award Watch List. The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the nation's top mid-major player in Division I College Basketball.
Love, a 6-9 sophomore center and native of Geneva, IL, was the Horizon League Freshman of the Year last season and was also an all-league second team member after averaging a League-best 9.7 rebounds and just under 13 points a game. The 2018-19 preseason all-league first team honoree is already averaging a double-double this season with 15.7 point and 10.0 boards. Love currently ranks tops in the HL in field-goal percentage at .613, second in rebounding and 10th in points.
Lou Henson coached for 41 years and accumulated 779 Division I wins, which ranked sixth all-time when he left the game in 2005. Henson is also one of only 12 coaches to take two schools to the Final Four.
The 2019 Lou Henson Award will be presented at the College Insider awards event in April at the site of the men's Division I national championship in Minneapolis, Minn.
