February 09, 2017 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Another day, another honor for Mississippi State junior guard Victoria Vivians.
Wednesday evening on ESPNU, Vivians was tabbed to the Late Season Top 20 for the Wooden Award presented by Wendy's, the Lost Angeles Athletic Club announced.
The latest honor comes a day after she was tabbed to the Top 30 for the Naismith Trophy. She is also on the midseason watch lists for the Wade Trophy and Ann Meyers Drysdale awards.
Vivians has enjoyed a stellar junior campaign, lead MSU with an SEC eighth-most 16.8 ppg this season. She is fifth in the league in conference play with 17.7 ppg. Vivians has scored double figures in 18-straight games and 22 of the team's 24 games this season.
Vivians, who has led MSU in scoring 12 times, has tallied seven 20-point games on the year, including six of her last 12 games.
She notched her 1,500th career point at Auburn, and with 15 against Missouri on Sunday, moved into seventh on MSU's all-time scoring list with 1,525 points. That total is one back of sixth and eight away from matching LaCharlotte Smith for fifth.
The Carthage, Miss., native has 552 made field goals in her career, eight back of matching Alexis Rack for sixth in the school history. She has made 192 3-pointers in her first three seasons in Starkville, a total that is third in program annals.
Vivians has also been solid on the defensive end of the floor in SEC games, averaging a league fifth-most 2.1 steals per game.
Vivians and the rest of the third-ranked Bulldogs host Vanderbilt at 8 p.m. Thursday on the SEC Network.
