Vote for Ray Here

BOSTON (2/25/13) – University of Detroit Mercy junior guard Ray McCallum was named Monday as one of 25 finalists for the Lou Henson Award, which honors the top mid-major player in college basketball. Fans can participate in the fan vote, which accounts for one-third of the final vote, by visiting VoteLouHenson.com.

McCallum currently leads the Titans in three categories this season scoring (19.0 ppg), assists (4.6 apg), and steals (1.9 spg.), while ranking among the top-10 in six different categories in the Horizon League. McCallum was recently recognized nationally for putting together one of the best single game performances of the last decade when he scored 16 points with 13 rebounds, eight assists and four steals in Titans win over Cleveland State. He was the first player with at least 16 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists and four steals in a regulation game since Connecticut's Ben Gordon recorded 17 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists and five steals vs. Iona in December 2003.

The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major player in Division I college basketball. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years. When he left the game in 2005 he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the game to take two schools to the Final Four.

The 2013 Award will be presented at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet in Atlanta, site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.

The Titans welcome Loyola to Calihan Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 28 for Senior Day. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised live on FOX Sports Detroit.
