Northwest Missouri State’s Hudgins Repeats as NABC DII Player of the Year

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second-straight season, Northwest Missouri State guard Trevor Hudgins has been selected as the NABC Division II Player of the Year.

 

Hudgins becomes just the fourth player to repeat as NABC Division II Player of the Year. His selection for the award marks the third in Northwest Missouri State history, with Justin Pitts earning the honor in 2017.

 

Hudgins has scored with both volume and efficiency again this season for the Bearcats. The junior is averaging 23.1 points on 48.5 percent shooting overall, 41.7 percent on three-pointers and 90.7 percent from the foul line. His 161 made threes are the most in the nation and currently the second-most in a single season in Division II history.

 

Hudgins has scored 20-plus points in 24 games this season and 30-plus seven times.

 

Behind Hudgins, the two-time defending champion Bearcats have made another run to the NCAA Division II national semifinals after winning the MIAA Tournament, where he was named the event’s Most Outstanding Player.
