Robertson on Ann Meyers Drysdale Watch List
November 10, 2020 | Women's Basketball
NORMAN – The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that Oklahoma junior guard Taylor Robertson is one of 20 players named to its watch list for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award for the second consecutive year.
Named after the first player, male or female, named to an All-America Team in four straight college seasons, the annual award in its fourth year recognizes the top shooting guard in women's NCAA Division I college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates.
Hailing from McPherson, Kan., Robertson averaged a team-high 19.1 points per game during the 2019-20 season, knocking down an OU and Big 12 record 131 3-pointers and finishing with a .425 clip from beyond the arc. Additionally, Robertson became the first player in Big 12 history to hit 100 or more 3s in back-to-back seasons.
Robertson scored her 1,000th career point in the final game of the 2019-20 season, making her just the third player in program history to achieve the milestone in two seasons or fewer. She joins OU's all-time leading scorers, Courtney Paris and Aaryn Ellenberg in that elite group.
The All-Big 12 Honorable Mention led the nation in made 3s (131) as well as 3s per game (4.37) for the entire season. Robertson is also the NCAA's active career leader in 3-point field goal percentage at .443 (236-for-533) and treys per game with a 3.93 average.
Robertson is one of two Big 12 players on the watchlist as she is joined by DiJonai Carrington of Baylor. It is also Robertson's second
This is the second preseason award for Robertson, who was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 team.
Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies in each of the three rounds. Voting will go live on Friday, November 13.
In early February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2021 Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year Award will be narrowed to just 10. Robertson was a member of the award's top 10 list last season.
In early March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. Meyers Drysdale and the Hall of Fame's selection committee.
The winner of the 2021 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award will be presented on Friday, April 9, 2021, along with the other four members of the Women's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard Award, the Cheryl Miller Small Forward Award, the Katrina McClain Power Forward Award, and the Lisa Leslie Center Award, in addition to the Men's Starting Five.
Previous winners of the Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year Award include Aari McDonald, Arizona (2020), Asia Durr, Louisville (2019) and Victoria Vivians, Mississippi State (2018).
Robertson and the Sooners tip off the 2020-21 season on Nov. 25 as they host Houston at noon at Lloyd Noble Center.
A limited number of season ticket plans are now available for the 2020-21 season.
