The Philadelphia Big 5 today announced its 2024 Hall of Fame Class with former Villanova standout Courtney Mix a member of the class. All of the honorees will be recognized at the Big 5 Classics for both women's and men's basketball on Friday, December 6, at Villanova's Finneran Pavilion and Saturday, December 7, at the Wells Fargo Center.
Â
Joining Mix in this year's class will be La Salle's Dr. John Giannini, Penn's Ira Bowman, Temple's LaKeisha Eaddy, Saint Joseph's Amy Facer, and Mike Jensen of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Â
Throughout her Villanova career, Mix established herself as one of the most versatile performers in the history of Villanova women's basketball. From a team standpoint, she helped lead the Wildcats to four consecutive NCAA Tournament berths including an Elite Eight appearance, a Big East Tournament championship, four-straight 20-win seasons, and a four-year record of 93-33.
Â
She finished her illustrious Villanova career ranking 23rd all-time in scoring (1,071 points), fourth in rebounding (869 rebounds), and sixth in assists (457). She also registered 209 career steals which is still eighth all-time at Villanova. She will also be remembered as one of the top defensive players to ever play women's basketball on the Main Line. As a team captain during her senior season in 2003-04, Mix led the country in assist-to-turnover ratio (5:1). For her efforts that season, she earned second-team All-Big East honors and first-team All-Big 5 distinction.
Â
In addition, Mix won the Big East Conference Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award and the Sister Mary Margaret Cribben Award which is given to the Villanova student-athlete who unselfishly sacrifices time, effort, body and soul to lead and motivate her teammates in excelling for Villanova athletes through inspiration.
