LEE NAMED TO MALONE WATCH LIST The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced that UAB senior William Lee is one of 20 student-athletes selected to the 2018 Karl Malone Award Watch List. Named after Hall of Famer and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Karl Malone, the annual honor is in its fourth year and recognizes the top power forwards in Division I men s college basketball. A national committee comprised of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. REPEAT OFFENDER UAB senior forward William Lee was selected as the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season when he won the award last March. Lee ended the season with 80 blocked shots and ranked 20th in the NCAA with 2.4 per game. Lee is the first player in Conference USA to repeat as the winner since Joey Dorsey of Memphis accomplished the feat in 2007 and Lee is looking to become only the second player in league history to win the award in three consecutive seasons. Kenyon Martin won the award from when he played for the University of Cincinnati. WORLD CHAMPION UAB sophomore guard Nate Darling made history over the summer when he won a Gold Medal with Team Canada at the 2017 FIBA U19 World Cup in Cairo, Egypt. Darling and the Canadians upset the USA in the semifinals before knocking off Italy the following day in the finals. It was the first Gold Medal for Team Canada in the event in its history. Darling averaged 7.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game over the course of the tournament. DIAPER DANDY Robert Ehsan begins his second season as head coach of UAB as the 10th-youngest head coach in the NCAA at 35 years old. Maurice Joseph of George Washington stands as the youngest coach in the NCAA at 32 years old. Ironically, Ehsan and Joseph met last season when UAB faced George Washington in non-conference play.
