Moussa Cisse Named To Preseason Watchlist
October 28, 2022 | Cowboy Basketball
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ---- Oklahoma State's Moussa Cisse is one of the 20 watch-list members for the 2023 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today. Named after Class of 1995 Hall of Famer and three-time NCAA Champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the annual honor in its ninth year recognizes the top center in men's college basketball.
A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates.
A junior, Cisse was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year last season alongside Baylor's Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua and West Virginia's Gabe Osabuohien.
He became just the second Cowboy in conference history, alongside two-time selection Marcus Dove (2007 and 2008), to be picked as the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. It was the first time in league history the honor has been shared.
In his first year at OSU, Cisse was the Big 12's top shot-blocker with 54 for an average of 1.86 per game. He finished sixth in the conference with 6.52 rebounds and also averaged 7.2 points while connecting on 55.9 percent of his field goal attempts.
