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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
