BOSTON -- Indiana State senior guard Jake Odum has been named to the Lute Olson Preseason All-America Team as announced by CollegeInsider.com.
The Lute Olson Award is presented annually to the nation's top Division I player who has played at least two seasons with his respective team. Freshmen and first-year transfers can be named to the All-America team, but are not eligible to receive the Player of the Year honors.
The award is named in honor of coaching great Lute Olson, who won 780 games in 34 seasons, 24 of which were spent at the University of Arizona. During that stretch he led the Wildcats to 11 Pac-10 Conference titles, 23 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, four Final Four appearances and a National Championship in 1997.
Odum is one of 22 players nationally to be named to the team. He represents the Missouri Valley Conference along with Wichita State's Cleanthony Early.
