Excited
Harvard senior and basketball phenom Jeremy Lin has just be named one of the top 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award from an original list of 73 – an award given to “the top collegiate male basketball point guard annually spanning across all divisions.” Congratulations to Jeremy!
You can help Jeremy win this award by voting for him at www.cousyaward.com – The player that receives the most fan votes will receive one vote toward the final committee vote. Fan voting will run one month – beginning February 5 and will conclude March 5. Jeremy has got some stiff competition, including nominees from such storied programs as Duke, Michigan State, Villanova and Kentucky.
Jeremy has gotten quite a bit of press lately: This past week, Jeremy was interviewed on NPR. And last week, Sports Illustrated did a story on him and the Harvard men’s basketball team.
