2013 HENSON AWARD
BOSTON (MA) -- Saint Mary's Matthew Dellavedova is the recipient of the 2013 Lou Henson award..
"Matthew was the heart and soul of Saint Mary's basketball," said CollegeInsider.com co-founder Angela Lento. "When the game was on the line, more often than not Dellavedova would deliver."
The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major player in Division I college basketball. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years.
When he left the game in 2005 he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the game to take two schools to the Final Four.
NOTE: Ian Clark (Belmont), Ray McCallum (Detroit), Doug McDermott (Creighton), Mike Muscala (Bucknell), Kelly Olynyk (Gonzaga) and Nate Wolters (South Dakota State) were named to the 2013 LUTE OLSON ALL-AMERICA TEAM.
