Despite missing the start of the season with an injury, Baylor's Reggie Upshaw, a Middle Tennessee State University signee, is a finalist for the Division II-AA Mr. Basketball award and McMinn Central's Elizabeth Masengil is a finalist for the Class AA Miss Basketball award. Masengil, a UT-Martin signee, won the award last year.
