Jeff Walz has been named one of ten semifinalists for the Naismith Coach of the Year.

For Walz, it's the fifth straight year he's been named as a semifinalist for the award. The Cardinals are 25-4 on the year, finished 16-2 in conference and are fifth in the latest AP Poll and USA Today poll behind South Carolina, Stanford, NC State and Baylor. 

Seven women coaches and three men make up the list of ten.

  1. It's probably Wes Moore's turn to win the award and maybe even the tournament. As much as I hate to say or imagine it.
