Louisville junior guard Tajianna Roberts landed on the 20-player watch list for the 2027 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, honoring college basketball’s top shooting guard. It’s her second straight year on the list; last season, she advanced to the award’s midseason top 10. Roberts was Louisville’s leading scorer last year and is also a two-time preseason All-ACC selection.

By the Numbers
  • 11.5 points per game: Roberts’ team-leading scoring average last season.
  • 25 games with at least 10 points, the most on the team.
  • 3.5 assists per game in ACC play, a team high.
  • 7 assists: Roberts’ career high, set in a road win over Miami.
What's Next

Fan voting begins Oct. 30. The watch list will narrow to 10 players in February and five in March, with the winner selected by Meyers Drysdale and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee.

Bottom Line

Roberts enters the season with national award recognition and a proven scoring and playmaking role—now she’ll look to build on last year’s top-10 award consideration.
