Kendric Davis Named To Bob Cousy Award Watch List

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (SMU/Naismith HOF) – Kendric Davis was one of 20 named to the 2022 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award watch list, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Monday. The annual honor recognizes the top point guards in Division I men's college basketball. Davis is the third Mustang to be named to the Bob Cousy Award watch list in the past seven seasons, joining Nic Moore (2015-16 finalist) and Shake Milton (2017-18).

Davis was also a unanimous preseason All-American Athletic Conference First Team selection. Last season, Davis was selected unanimous All-AAC First Team, NABC All-District First Team and USBWA All-District. He was also one of 35 named to the Lute Olson National Player of the Year Mid-Season Watch List. Davis averaged 19.0 points (1st AAC, 44th NCAA), 7.6 assists (1st AAC, 4th NCAA), 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals (4th AAC) with a 3.2 assist-to-turnover ratio (1st AAC, 10th NCAA). He also was among the league leaders in FG% (48.1, 7th AAC), 3FG% (37.3, 12th AAC) and FT% (83.3, 5th AAC). He had five points-assists double-doubles, and was the only player in the country to lead his league in both scoring and assists. Davis was also twice named AAC Player of the Week in 2020-21 with six additional appearances on The American weekly honor roll.

The Mustangs are coming off an 11-6 season that included an NIT bid. SMU is entering the sixth season under Head Coach Tim Jankovich, who has a 101-55 record on the Hilltop with a 69-17 mark at Moody Coliseum. SMU is 30-17 the past two seasons with a 21-4 mark at home.

SMU returns Davis along with fellow starters Emmanuel Bandoumel (10.2 points, 24th AAC; 36.4% 3s, 14th AAC) and Isiah Jasey (1.0 blocks, 6th AAC) as well as reserves Jahmar Young Jr. and Darius McBride. SMU added transfers Zach Nutall from Sam Houston (Southland Conference Player of the Year), Marcus Weathers from Duquesne (2-time All-Atlantic 10), Michael Weathers from Texas Southern (SWAC Newcomer of the Year), Tristan Clark from Baylor (2019-20 Karl Malone Watch List) and Franklin Agunanne from Loyola Chicago. Newcomers also include Zhuric Phelps (2021 Texas Mr. Basketball), Jalen Smith (3-star), Stefan Todorovic (Nike Hoop Summit, Serbia U19 Team) and Tyler Lundblade (McDonald's All-American nominee).

The season opens at Moody Coliseum versus McNeese on Tuesday, Nov. 9. The non-conference schedule is highlighted by home games against UNLV (Dec. 1), Vanderbilt (Dec. 4) and Dayton (Dec. 8...), road games at Oregon (Nov. 12) and New Mexico (Dec. 19) plus the Jacksonville Classic (Nov. 21-22) with Florida State, Missouri and LMU. The conference slate opens at Tulsa on Dec. 29 with the first home game against UCF on Jan. 2. In AAC play, SMU has two matchups with Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa, USF and Wichita State. The Mustangs face UCF and East Carolina once each.
