Three Big 12 Women?s Basketball Standouts On Preseason Wade Watch List

Three Big 12 women's basketball student-athletes have been named to the 2010-11 preseason Wade Watch list, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced. Texas A&M's Danielle Adams, Baylor's Brittney Griner and Oklahoma's Danielle Robinson are among 25 candidates for The State Farm Wade Trophy Division I Player of the Year.

Adams, a senior for the Aggies, was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year last season after leading Texas A&M in scoring with 16.3 points per game, while also ranking fifth in the conference in blocks (45) and offensive rebounds per game (2.9).

Griner, the reigning Big 12 and USBWA Freshman of the Year, is one of four sophomores on the list. The Baylor center recorded an NCAA-best 223 blocks last season, while also leading the Bears in scoring (18.4 points per game) and rebounding (8.5 rebounds per game).

Robinson, making her second straight appearance on the list, ranked second in the Big 12 with 202 assists in 2009-10 and was fifth with 16.8 points per game.

The list is comprised of student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade according to the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability.

Now in its 34th year, The State Farm Wade Trophy's 2011 winner will be announced at the WBCA National Convention, held in conjunction with the NCAA Women's Final Four, in Indianapolis, Ind.
