The Bevo Francis Award honors the top men's basketball player that competes in the affiliations of NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA, NCCAA, or USCAA. The award is presented annually to the player who has had the finest overall season in small college basketball. Considerations will be season statistics and individual achievements, awards, personal character and team achievements.
