BOSTON, Mass. -- The Watch List for the 2022-23 Lou Henson National Player of the Year award
was announced on Tuesday, and Indiana State senior guard Courvoisier McCauley has played his way onto the list.
 
The award, which is presented annually to the top mid-major player in division I college
basketball, honors the former Illinois and New Mexico State head coach who won 775 games
in 41 seasons.
 
Henson is the winningest coach in Illinois basketball history with 423 victories. During his 21
seasons (1975-1996), Henson led the Fighting Illini to 16 postseason appearances, including 12
NCAA tournaments and a Final Four appearance in 1989.
 
Henson, who is also the all-time winningest coach in New Mexico State history with 289
victories, is one of only 11 coaches to take two different schools to the NCAA Final Four. His
teams have made 19 NCAA appearances and four NIT appearances.
 
Through five games this season, McCauley leads the Sycamores in scoring and rebounding, averaging 20.2 points and 6.8 boards per game. He posted a double-double in his ISU debut against Green Bay with 23 points and 10 rebounds and was named Missouri Valley Newcomer of the Week on November 14. He dropped a DI career-high 30 points against North Dakota State and has nailed 20 3-pointers on the year, hitting six in a single game on two occasions.
