 ** Floor Burn Award: Marcus Jackson ** \\ ** Floor Burn Award: Marcus Jackson ** \\
 The Floor Burn Award is given annually to the player who gives up his body for the good of the team. Whether it be diving for loose balls or throwing himself around in the paint, Marcus Jackson did so for the Golden Eagles' in 2003-04. Jackson, who was third on the team in blocks and fifth in offensive rebounds, may have wrapped up this award in November. Against Savannah State, in his first career-game at the Bradley Center, the 6-8 junior came off the bench and promptly recorded three steals in his first four minutes, the last by diving on the floor after stripping his opponent of the ball. The Floor Burn Award is given annually to the player who gives up his body for the good of the team.
