Dinnebier & Yong On the Watch List
(Hopewell, NJ) – We are proud to announce the 15-player midseason watch list for the 2024 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award presented by Her Hoop Stats. The Becky Hammon Award was first given out in 2020, with South Dakota’s Ciara Duffy being named the inaugural winner. FGCU’s Kierstan Bell won the award in 2021 and 2022, and Massachusetts’ Sam Breen won the most recent award in 2023.
This year’s midseason list includes representatives from 14 teams and 10 conferences. Five conferences – the MEAC, Mountain West, Missouri Valley, Sun Belt, and WCC – placed two players on the watch list. Norfolk State becomes the third team (Ohio – 2021, Gonzaga – 2023) to place multiple players on a single midseason watch list.
Murray State’s Katelyn Young becomes just the second player to be named to the midseason watch list three times, joining Dyaisha Fair who did so three times for Buffalo.
Drake’s Katie Dinnebier joins the watch list. Herhoopsstats.com says “The junior guard is on pace to become the first player in the HHS Era to average at least 1.40 points per scoring attempt on 10-plus shots per game while also assisting on at least 40% of their teammates’ made field goals while on the court.”
The above is a part of a press release from herhoopsstats.com.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
