Conference USA Men's Basketball Player of the Year
The Conference USA Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to Conference USA's most outstanding player. The award was first given following C-USA's inaugural 1995–96 season. Two players have received the award multiple times: Danny Fortson and Steve Logan. Coincidentally, both players attended the University of Cincinnati. Another Bearcat, Kenyon Martin, won the C-USA Player of the Year award the same season he was selected as the consensus National Player of the Year.
Cincinnati and Memphis have the most awards, with five each; Memphis has the most individual winners, with all of its awards having been won by different players. However, neither school is currently a member of the conference. Due to C-USA having lost many members in both the 2005 and early-2010s conference realignment cycles, only six of its current 14 members have had a winner. The three current C-USA members with more than one winner are Charlotte, Louisiana Tech, and Middle Tennessee.
