BCSN Men's Basketball Player of the Year Candidates

BCSN Men's Basketball 
Player of the Year Candidates

The Black College Sports Network (BCSN) has named a player of the week for 14 weeks this basketball season.  We originally named players of the week in NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division I until the CIAA and SIAC decided to suspend play this season, due to the pandemic.  We then separated our players of the week into Large Schools (NCAA Division I) and Small Schools (remaining NCAA Division II and NAIA).  After internal discussions, the BCSN decided to name a player of the year for all three levels of competition, as originally intended.  

The players of the year will be chosen by a panel of media members who follow HBCU athletics.  Fans will also get a say so in the voting.  Fans may vote via the BCSN Twitter Page.  The winner of the fan poll will get an additional vote towards their player of the year vote total.  Listed below are the four candidates for each level:
