December 07, 2021 | Cowboy Basketball
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. ---- Oklahoma State men's basketball senior Isaac Likekele has been named one of the 60 NCAA men's and women's basketball student-athletes, who excel both on and off the court, to be selected as candidates for the 2021-22 Senior CLASS Award, it was announced today.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.Â
The men's and women's candidates will be narrowed to two fields of 10 finalists later in the season, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will then select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2022 NCAA Men's Final Four® and NCAA Women's Final Four® this spring.
