Wright honored; UD gets another women’s regional
Chris Wright was one of 50 college basketball standouts named Thursday to the preseason watch for the James Naismith Award, which goes to the best player in the nation.
The Dayton junior forward also is one of 50 players nominated for the John Wooden Award, another honor reserved for the nation’s top player.
It’s “Big News” Day at UD: In addition to the men’s basketball team being ranked in a major preseason poll for the first time in more the four decades, the school has been picked again to host an NCAA women’s regional in 2011. The women’s regional also will be held at UD Arena this season.
The NCAA obviously likes UD’s drawing power. When the UConn women were here in 2003, the regional semis drew 9,552 and the final 8,503. When Tennessee was here in 2007, the semis drew 9,023 and the final 8,205.
