or almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologically-savvy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M.

t the Apr. 7 press conference announcing Josh Pastner as the program’s 17th head coach, he talked about how the Tigers were the city of Memphis’ team. “I want everyone to know this program is not about Josh Pastner, not about me,” said Pastner during the press conference. “This is the university’s program and the city of Memphis’ program. We want to have a basketball program that the city and university will be proud of.” In just under a year in the Bluff City as an assistant, Pastner quickly learned how vital the Tiger basketball program was to the city of Memphis, and in turn, how important the support from the city is to the success of the Tigers. In its truest essence, the city’s love affair with Tiger basketball is a relationship that is the very fabric of the Memphis community. Since he took the reins of the program in April, the Tigers have been “out-and-about” in the Memphis community. Pastner has given numerous talks to various community organizations and youth gatherings around the city. But, the Tigers’ new head coach is not the only person wearing the Blue and Gray making a difference around the city. The Memphis players continue to give back to the community that supports them so much each season. The Tigers recently visited Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center and a local retirement center that brought many smiles to both the young and young-atheart. The players also helped clean a part of the city by repainting walls marred by graffiti. Coach Pastner has said it over and over since his hiring – “This is the city of Memphis’ team.”

n March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newlyrenovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/ certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index. php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned gradepoint averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

here’s never been a better time to be a Tiger fan. Nine-straight 20-win seasons. Nine-consecutive postseason tournament berths, including a trip to the National Championship and back-toback Elite Eight appearances. A roster that features some of the nation’s best collegiate talent. And to top it off, Memphis fans are able to watch their beloved Tigers in the one of the country’s best arenas, FedExForum. The 2009-10 college basketball season will be the team’s sixth season in FedExForum, the $250 million stateof-the-art arena that has the nation still talking. When fans come to a game at FedExForum, the excitement begins even before they enter the front doors. FedExForum features a 35,000 squarefoot outdoor plaza where all fans enter the building. The plaza serves as Memphis’ front porch, a gathering area for fans of all ages. Once in FedExForum, fans are treated to an experience that is unparalleled in the college basketball game. In the arena, there are five levels with wide concourses, making navigating the building easy. There are over 100 points of sale for concession stands, meaning shorter lines. There are four full-service restaurants, with three offering service to Premium Seat Holders — Opus, a fine dining restaurant overlooking the court; Blue Note Lounge, where fans can get a cocktail and a light meal before or during the game; and the Lexus Lounge. The fourth restaurant, which is open to all fans just off the Grand Lobby, is Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Sports Bar, a fun pregame meeting place with patio seating. All of the food in FedExForum is offered by Levy Restaurants, the leader in sports and entertainment venue dining and fans will experience selection and quality beyond anything they’ve ever had at a sporting event. Memphis favorites such as Neely’s Barbecue and D’Bos chicken wings will be available, and fans will also be able to satisfy their appetites with sushi, paninis, po’ boys and just about anything else they could possibly want. Once in their seats, the first thing fans will notice is the massive video board. Designed by Daktronics, the center-hung scoreboard is the focal point of the system, providing fans with live video, instant replays and information on 10 large digital full-color displays, including four dedicated scoring sections. The scoreboard is one of the biggest in the country, measuring approximately 22 feet high by 38 feet in diameter. The unique design of the main center-hung scoreboard includes two 36-degree full-color rings of LED on the top and bottom of the scoreboard. Four additional video displays, in vertical configuration, flank the main video screens and dedicated scoring sections. To complement the center-hung video

and scoring displays, additional LED displays are prominently featured around the seating bowl. These ProAd® digital displays are used for a variety of purposes, including presenting exciting animations and graphics, statistics, scores and stats from other games, and interactive promotional messages from the team and its sponsors. One 360-degree ring of light encircles the entire seating bowl, mounted on the Terrace Level fascia. A second large display curves 270 degrees around the Club Level fascia. Before, during and after games, Tiger fans can buy the latest merchandise and U of M gear in the team store, located in the Grand Lobby and at several boutique stores throughout FedExForum. The store is also open from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Sunday, or can be reached by phone at 901-205-1551. A unique feature of FedExForum is the music theme that is prevalent throughout. Luxury suite holders will notice their names engraved on a record outside their suite, and lyric sheets from famous Memphis songs appear prominently on the walls. Concessions and restaurants are named with uniquely Memphis music themes and areas of the arena concourses are divided into sponsored zones highlighting musical genres like Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Blues, Gospel, Memphis Music Today and more. FedExForum is also home to the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum on the ground floor of the administration building. The Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum traces the roots of rock and roll and soul music in Memphis, offering visitors a self-guided tour of Memphis music from the early 20th century in the ‘70s. The Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum is one of only two Smithsonian Institution exhibits not located in Washington, D.C. Along with the Grizzlies’ locker room on the Event Level, the Tigers also have a state-of-the-art locker room facility just off the playing floor. The area has players and coaches locker rooms, a training room, video room and players lounge. The locker room is one of the best facilities in the nation. FedExForum is setting a new standard for college arenas, and it’s all happening in Memphis. There has truly never been a better time to be a Tigers fan.

way from c o l l e g e basketball’s top arena, FedExForum, the Tigers have a world-class practice facility in the Larry O. Finch Recreational Facility located on the University of Memphis campus. The 31,000-square-foot center cost $3.2 million. It features a regulation court which runs east to west. With the removal of portable goals, the building can be divided into two north-south courts for intramural play. Besides the courts, the building features every amenity the Tigers could desire. The center’s weight room was equipped with $50,000 of state-of-theart weight and cardiovascular equipment through a generous donation from Memphis businessmen Richard Mercer, Harry Phillips and George Sneed. With the renovations done in the summer of 2004, the weight room was moved courtside where players can work out just off the practice courts. The players lounge now occupies what was once the weight room, giving the Tiger players and coaches a spacious area to hold team functions. The lounge area features a big screen television and a pool table, along with several couches and recliners on which players and coaches can “lounge.” Built into the main entrance to the lounge area are open lockers featuring uniforms and mementoes from former Tigers in the NBA. The locker room has individual wood lockers along three walls. Adjacent to the locker room is a video room where players and coaches can watch game tape in preparation for upcoming games. Additional training equipment has been added to the weight room on a yearly basis. The center’s fully-equipped training room includes heat packs, electrical stimulation units, ultrasound, whirlpools, three treatment and two taping tables as well as a separate doctor’s examination room. Also, the classroom which overlooks the court has been transformed into a dining area for post-practice meals for the team. A brick archway entrance was added to the front of the facility in the summer of 2008. It is the first step in establishing the Memphis Basketball Walk of Fame. The ongoing project is turning the Finch Center’s entrance area into a Memphis basketball museum, which will chronicle the Tigers’ glorious basketball history. The Larry O’ Finch Center was dedicated Feb. 24, 2000. In Finch’s three years as a player at Memphis, the Tigers recorded a 63-21 record and either won or tied for two Missouri Valley Conference championships. He scored 1,869 career points and averaged 26.8 points in the 1973 NCAA Tournament when the Tigers advanced to the championship game. Finch was named All-America honorable mention by both the Associated Press and UPI and was the 1972 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year. As a coach, Finch is the all-time winningest coach in Tiger history, posting a 220-130 record in 11 seasons. Under his leadership the U of M advanced to the NCAA Tournament six times, including the Elite Eight in 1992 and the Sweet 16 in 1995.

he University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With fully-staffed athletic training rooms located at the Murphy Athletic Complex, the Larry O. Finch Center and the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The athletic training facility contains an inground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing athletic trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/ her own body weight. The athletic training room also contains doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries.

n 2000, the Larry O. Finch Basketball Training Facility opened for Tiger basketball, and with it, gave the University of Memphis basketball program one of the top practice facilities in the nation. Along with practices courts and other student-athlete amenities, the Tiger basketball players have a state-of-the-art weight room in which to work. Richard Hogans, a former Memphis football standout who also played in the NFL, is the Director of Performance Enhancement and works directly with the men’s basketball team. Hogans has worked with a number of All-Pro athletes such as the San Francisco 49ers’ Isaac Bruce, the NBA’s Penny Hardaway and heavyweight boxing champion Michael Moorer. The weight room is located beside the practice courts, allowing players to move easily from one area to another during practice or strength and conditioning exercises. Since he was hired in the summer of 2004, Hogans has continually kept the Tiger basketball weight room updated with cutting-edge equipment.
WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS • Hogans and the Tiger program has adopted a motto as “B.I.A. — Best in America,” showing what student-athletes should always strive for. Under this B.I.A. motto, the players are taking on a W.I.T. — Whatever It Takes — mentality. • Speed-Strength Philosophy: As performance enhancement specialists, the goal is not to make the student-athletes into professional weightlifters, but ensure they are physically prepared for the high demands of competitive athletics. In order to give the players an edge, a program has been developed that integrates the four key aspects needed to increase speed and quickness, explosiveness, power, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity. The four key aspects are strength training, speed training, agility training and plyometic training. • The Tiger basketball players go through three different phases of training throughout the year. The phases are preparatory, competitive in-season and transitional. The foundation for the student-athletes is set in the transitional phase which starts in the spring and continues up to the preparatory phase. The transitional and preparatory phases are vital for the players’ development because strength, speed and lean mass gains are necessities during this time period. During the latter part of the preparatory phase, the student-athletes are transitioned into specific training methodologies, where all the training is put together and tied into the specific sport. • The workouts during the early phases constantly change week-to-week, with the exception of the core exercises. This type of protocol creates an environment where change in muscle tone and growth is inevitable due primarily to the fact that the student-athletes’ are not used to the workouts. This, in turn, creates muscle breakdown that results in muscle growth with adequate recovery and supplementation. Also the constant change in the routine keeps the workouts from becoming stale and boring.

hen the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.

onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of MidAmerica. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.

R.
C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 13 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back league championships in 2007 and 2008. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (19881994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

When University of Memphis Director of Athletics R.C. Johnson began the search for a new coach for the Tiger basketball program last March, he stated he wanted a “wow” hire. Boy, Johnson got that “wow” hire. Because ever since Apr. 7 when Johnson handed the reins of the program to then 31-year-old Josh Pastner, all any Tiger fan is able to say is, “Wow!” Granted, Pastner is not naïve. He realizes that many of the good vibes and well wishes from Tiger Nation are because, in his own words, he’s undefeated entering the 2009-10 campaign. But, from the Memphis fans’ perspective, they know the circumstances the program faces and understand that there may be some drop-off from the greatest four-year run in NCAA Division I basketball history from 2005-09. Tiger Nation is soaking up the positive attitude that Pastner breathed – and is still breathing – into the program. And, the program needed that proverbial “breath of fresh air” after undergoing an off-season with so many twists and turns that Pastner, in response to if he was ready for the season to begin, jokingly quipped, “What? The season hasn’t started yet?” That was the feeling most of Tiger Nation had with the whirlwind the basketball program went through since the end of the 2008-09 campaign. To quickly recap: Memphis had a coaching change, hired an entirely new staff, lost two underclassmen to the NBA Draft, had three of four recruits decide to attend other schools, responded to an NCAA letter, signed two players, accepted a transfer, played the waiting game to see if the transfer could participate this season, had one late signee decide to play professional ball overseas, had the other recruit suffer a knee injury and is out for the season, got clearance from the NCAA for the transfer to play immediately, and signed its final recruit just a week before school started. But, through the ups and downs, Pastner remains positive and wants Tiger fans to do the same throughout the 2009-10 campaign. Pastner oozes enthusiasm and excitement for the upcoming season, but also knows it may be one of the most challenging years in the program’s history. “Let’s just start with the fact that the last four years was not reality, or what the norm is,” said Pastner. “No other program in the history of college basketball has done what was accomplished here the past four years. Because of that incredible success, we have a huge bull’s-eye on our back this season. Our players know this and are ready to face what’s in front of them. “Although our numbers are low, I’ve told PAG E
Josh Pastner enters his first season as a collegiate head coach in 2009-10. The 32-year-old Pastner, widely regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, is looking at the upcoming season as full of positives for the Tiger program despite having only eight scholarship players at his disposal.
Roburt Sallie wowed the nation with his 35-point, 10-threepointers made performance in the NCAA Tournament first round last season. That and more is expected from the 6-foot5 guard and his backcourt mates, as the Tigers’ strength will be on the perimeter in 2009-10.
the team to have fun this season and enjoy it. We’re going to work as hard as possible to make the university and city proud of their team.” When Pastner stated that the numbers are scarce, he’s referring to scholarship players, and he had nine when school began. However, two weeks into individual workouts, the number dropped to eight when sophomore forward Angel Garcia suffered an ACL injury to his right knee and is out for the season. Pastner, though, continues to accentuate the positives, and three are found in the returning senior trio of Pierre Henderson-Niles, Willie Kemp and Doneal Mack. The three seniors bring a winning attitude to the squad, as they have been a part of 104 victories the past three seasons. The 104 wins ties the NCAA Division I mark for most victories in a three-year span in college basketball history. The seniors have also played integral roles in Memphis winning three-straight Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. In fact, Henderson-Niles, Kemp and Mack have never suffered a Conference USA setback (57-0 record) and look to extend the Tigers’ 61-game league overall win streak in 2009-10. Memphis also has a 49-game conference regular season win streak. Both streaks are the second-longest in NCAA Division I basketball history.

One only has to look at the Tigers’ roster to know where the strength of the team lies — on the perimeter. And, Pastner, looks to center the squad’s play around its perimeter players. “I don’t want to live or die by the three,” said Pastner. “But, the perimeter is where the strength of this year’s team is, so you’re going to see us shoot a lot from the three-point line. We have a lot of quickness and athleticism in the backcourt and on the wings, and we’re looking to take advantage of that.” The threesome of Kemp, Mack and Roburt Sallie return as the cornerstone of the Tigers’ perimeter game, and all three can light it up from the “three.” Mack tops the trio in number of treys made, hitting 176 times from long distance in his career. The 176 treys are third-most in school history, and on his pace of 59 threepointers per season, the Charlotte, N.C., native looks to become only the third player to hit the 200-trey milestone in the program’s history. Kemp finds his name just outside the top-10 on the career three-pointers made list with 123 treys, but needs only 14 to move onto the list. Over the summer, the Bolivar, Tenn., native set the tone as one of the team’s leaders during the strength training and conditioning sessions. The

After seeing time at point guard and shooting guard in 200809, Wesley Witherspoon is learning another position — the 4-spot — for the upcoming season. With the Tigers’ thin numbers in the frontcourt, Witherspoon, who is one of the country’s most versatile players, will see a lot of time near the basket.
Many college basketball fans may not recognize senior Pierre Henderson-Niles when he takes the floor in 2009-10. Henderson-Niles, seen in the photo above from last season, has dropped from around 300 pounds to under 270 to start the 2009-10 campaign.
6-foot-2 senior expects to see time at both the point and shooting guard positions. The player that most of Tiger Nation is waiting to see is Sallie. The last time everyone saw the Sacramento, Calif., native, he was torching the nets in the NCAA Tournament to the tune of 66.7 percent shooting from the arc (16-of-24) in three games. Sallie hit a school-record 10 treys in the NCAA Tournament first round win over Cal State Northridge. Pastner is expecting that and more from the 6-foot-5 guard. Plans are for Sallie to take on a larger role in 2009-10, and that move also requires a change in his mindset from limited role player to starter or sixth man. Joining that trio is Duke University transfer Elliot Williams, who returns home to Memphis after playing the 2008-09 season for the Blue Devils. A lefty, athletic wing, the 6-foot-5 sophomore hit his stride late last year, starting 11 of Duke’s final 12 games. He made 12 total starts, and when he did he doubled his offensive output. Williams averaged 6.7 points and 3.8 boards in the 12 starts, but posted 2.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in games when he came off the bench. While Williams may play a lot of his time at off-guard, Pastner also expects to use him at the point. Another surprise addition to the perimeter
is freshman Drew Barham. The 6-foot-7 wing originally signed with Southern Illinois, but with the changes that occurred with the Tigers’ roster over the summer, Barham decided he wanted to remain in the Bluff City and play for his hometown team. The Salukis released Barham from his national letter of intent, and he is eligible for the 2009-10 campaign as a walk-on. Barham is another perimeter weapon for the Tigers, as he has excellent range and outstanding accuracy. Other players vying for time on the perimeter are junior James Harvey Jr., sophomore Preston Laird and freshmen Tyler Foster, Charles Holt and Malik Thomas.
IN THE LANE When Garcia went down with his ACL injury in early September individual workouts, it made an already thin frontcourt even thinner. Before the injury, the Tiger coaching staff was working with Garcia — a skilled player with three-point range — on his post moves and teaching him to play with his back to the basket. The plan was to make Garcia a match-up problem for opponents in the post and on the perimeter. With Garcia out for 2009-10, Pastner and his staff have to be innovative despite low num-

bers up front. Henderson-Niles and junior college transfer Will Coleman will be counted on to man the post for Memphis, while sophomore swingman Wesley Witherspoon and freshman D.J. Stephens will see most of the time at the power forward spot. “I’ve told the staff we’re going to have to be creative with the way we play because of our lack of numbers at certain positions, especially on the frontline,” said Pastner. “We can’t feel sorry for ourselves because no one else is going to do so. We have to be positive and coach them up the best we can.” All eyes will be on Henderson-Niles, who has slimmed down to under 270 pounds and is expected to take on a new role after seeing limited playing time in his first three seasons. Pastner is counting on the Memphis, Tenn., native to contribute in many ways in 2009-10. After two stellar seasons at Miami Dade College, Coleman moves his game to Memphis. The Columbus, Ga., native only started playing basketball as a junior in high school, but his freakish athleticism – including a 43-inch vertical – gives the Tiger coaching staff something with which to work. The 6-foot-9 junior nearly averaged double figures in rebounding and over four blocks per contest at Miami Dade, and if Coleman can produce similar numbers in 200910, then the Tigers could have a successful season. Witherspoon, one of the most versatile players in the nation, will pick up most of the playing time at the 4-spot. The 6-foot-9 wing missed a portion of the 2008-09 season after surgery to repair a torn meniscus in late January, but worked hard in the weight room in the off-season to get prepared for his role this year. Stephens is a smallish power forward at 6-foot5, but his length and incredible hops – also a 43-inch vertical – help him match up with bigger frontline players. Aaron Jacques, a walk-on addition just prior to preseason drills, is a “mix-it-up” type of player the Tigers need to push the other frontcourt players in practice. The 6-foot-6 Jacques played one season of college basketball at Bethel College, an NAIA school, in 2005-06.
THE WRAP-UP For a first-year head coach, a lot of things have been thrown at Pastner in only six months on the job. However, through it all, Pastner remains upbeat about what 2009-10 holds for the Tigers. He has said repeatedly that it won’t be the smoothest of rides, but with Tiger Nation and the city of Memphis behind “their” team, the program will remain on track to stay among college basketball’s elite.

Quick, name the person who appears on the NCAA Division I men’s basketball youngest head coaches list and yet has already coached 12 NBA lottery picks? If you’re stumped, don’t feel bad. There are many college hoops experts that may not even know. The answer to the question is University of Memphis first-year head coach Josh Pastner, who took over the reins of the Tiger basketball program at 31 years of age on Apr. 7, 2009. Although he is the third-youngest head coach in NCAA Division I, Pastner has a resume that many would like to have. Speaking of those Pastner’s NBA lottery picks, the names make up a list of who’s who in “The League.” The players are Jason Terry, Channing Frye, Jarryd Bayless, Andre Iguodala, Richard Jefferson, Michael Dickerson and Mike Bibby from his time at Arizona. Then, add to that, Emeka Okafor, T.J. Ford and Daniel Gibson when Pastner coached the Houston Hoops summer squad, and that’s rather impressive. But, there’s more. In late June, Pastner added two more players to his NBA Draft lottery list when Arizona’s Jordan Hill and Memphis’ Tyreke Evans were two of the 2009 NBA Draft’s top 13 selections. Pastner’s impressive resume, though, doesn’t end there. He’s won an NCAA title as a player at Arizona (1997), and also made a trip to the NCAA championship game while on the Wildcats’ staff (2001). As an assistant coach since 2003 (six years at Arizona, one year at Memphis), Pastner’s teams advanced to four NCAA Sweet Sixteens and two Elite Eights. In fact, Pastner has participated in the NCAA Tournament all 13 years he has been involved in college basketball as a player, staff member or assistant coach. And now, he brings that exceptional background to the role as the 17th head coach in Memphis basketball history. Pastner came to Memphis as an assistant coach in May of 2008, and in only his first season as an assistant on the staff in 2008-09, he helped the Tigers continue their rarefied success. Last year, Memphis continued its magical ride with a 33-4 overall record and another perfect 16-0 mark in the Conference USA regular season — the program’s third-straight year of perfection in league play. The Tigers entered the NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen on a school-record 27-game win streak, also the longest in the nation. This past year’s Sweet Six-

teen appearance was the program’s fourth straight, tying a school mark. Memphis made it another sweep of the C-USA crowns, winning the league’s tournament for a fourthconsecutive season. The Tigers also jumped into the top five of both national polls, reaching as high as the No. 2 spot. Memphis finished the regular season ranked No. 3 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 2 in the ESPN/USA Today poll. In the final coaches poll after the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers were ranked No. 9. Pastner came to Memphis after a successful six-year stint as an assistant coach on Hall of Famer Lute Olson’s staff at the University of Arizona. From 2003-08, Arizona averaged nearly 23 wins per season (137-60 record; .695 winning percentage), captured two Pac-10 regular season championships (2003, 2005) and advanced to two NCAA Tournament regional finals (2003, 2005). The Wildcats earned NCAA Tournament berths in each of Pastner’s six seasons as an assistant coach. Pastner, who was with the Arizona program as a player, administrator and coach since 1996, was a key cog in the Wildcats’ recruiting efforts and working with the program’s big men. In his six seasons as an assistant in Tucson, Pastner’s tireless efforts on the recruiting trail paid big dividends, as the Wildcats continued to successfully recruit top-notch student-athletes. Arizona’s recruiting classes were among the best nationally in each of his six seasons as an assistant. In June of 2005, then-Rivals.com’s writer and current Memphis Grizzlies’ general manager Chris Wallace named Pastner one of college basketball’s top 25 recruiters, writing, “Any list of top recruiters must include Pastner.” In May 2008, FoxSports.com rated Pastner as the No. 7 high-major recruiter in the country. And just recently, Basketball Times named Pastner the

Continued from page 45 No. 5 assistant coach in the country in the publication’s April 2009 issue. During his time at Arizona, Pastner was also involved in a wealth of charitable organizations, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson, Boy Scouts of America, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Naval Special Warfare Foundation, Special Olympics and various local law enforcement support groups to name a few. His charitable efforts got him named to the Tucson Business Edge’s “40 Under 40” list for 2007. The honor recognizes local business leaders under 40 years of age. The annual list not only recognizes recipients for professional success, but community involvement, public service and participation in trade groups or professional organizations. Pastner played in 42 games as a Wildcat and finished his career with an average of 0.9 ppg. The Wildcats were 42-0 in the games in which he appeared. Despite his lack of playing time, Pastner’s presence in the Arizona program was invaluable, performing many of the small “behind-the-scenes”
things that helped the team win the 1997 NCAA championship and two Pac-10 titles (1998, 2000) during his career. Pastner helped break down game tapes and scout opponents, and he was the shot specialist for many of the Wildcat players. In his 12 overall years with the program, Arizona had a 290-103 record (.738 winning percentage). Pastner earned his bachelor’s degree in Family Studies from Arizona in December 1998, two-anda-half years after enrolling, the fastest an Arizona student-athlete has ever earned a degree. He finished his master’s in Teaching and Teacher Education in December 1999 before beginning work on his doctorate. In his role as an undergraduate assistant in 2000-01, Pastner began pursuit of another undergraduate degree. Despite taking as many as 33 units a semester while at Arizona, Pastner maintained a high gradepoint average, was nominated for the CoSIDA/ GTE Academic All-America team and was named to the Academic All-Pac-10 second team as a senior in 2000. On May, 16, 2009, Pastner married the former Kerri Lamas, and the couple resides in Memphis.

Head coach Josh Pastner has said repeatedly that Memphis is one of the elite basketball programs in the nation. He also knows that, to remain among the country’s top programs, Memphis has to continue to recruit elite student-athletes. A coach that has an eye for sighting top talent is Glynn Cyprien, who joined Pastner’s staff this past summer. One of the nation’s top recruiters, Cyprien’s efforts have paid off at each of his previous stops, as his recruiting classes have translated into winning seasons and postseason appearances. Since the 1994-95 season at Western Kentucky, Cyprien has been a part of teams with winning records in 13 campaigns, and of those 13 teams, 12 made it to postseason play (9 NCAA, 3 NIT). In his entire 21-year collegiate coaching career, Cyprien has worked with 13 20-win teams and has been a postseason participant 13 times.

Cyprien’s two most recent stops came at Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools in Kentucky and Arkansas. From 2007-09, the New Orleans, La., native helped the Wildcats to a combined 40-27 record and back-to-back postseason appearances (2008 NCAA, 2009 NIT). In his one year at Arkansas, Cyprien helped the Razorbacks to a 21-14 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance. Before his one year at New Mexico State in 2005-06, Cyprien had an outstanding run as an assistant on Eddie Sutton’s staff at Oklahoma State from 200004. In his four years in Stillwater, the Cowboys had a combined 97-32 record and earned four-straight NCAA Tournament berths. Cyprien’s final year at Oklahoma State was one of the best in the school’s history. The Cowboys went 31-4 and advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Ironically, that Oklahoma State team defeated Memphis in the second round en route to the Final Four. While at UNLV from 1995-2000, it was Cyprien’s recruiting efforts that got the Runnin’ Rebels back on the national stage. His 1997 recruiting class was rated the best in the nation by The Sporting News and Basketball Times, and the 1999 class was No. 2 in the country according to Hoop Scoop. Those classes translated into four-straight winning seasons and four-consecutive postseason bids (2 NCAA, 2 NIT) from 1997-2000. Before his move to Las Vegas, Cyprien spent a season at Western Kentucky in 1994-95. The Hilltoppers had a tremendous campaign, compiling a 27-4 record, sweeping the Sun Belt Conference regular season and tournament titles and advancing to the NCAA Tournament second round. Western Kentucky was ranked No. 21 in the final national polls, and the Hilltoppers’ recruiting class that season was rated 10th-best in the country. Cyprien began his coaching career with stops at Texas-San Antonio (198790), Lamar University (1990-91) and Jacksonville (1991-94). While at TexasSan Antonio, he helped the Roadrunners earn the school’s first NCAA Tournament berth in 1988, his first year with the program.

When Josh Pastner contacted Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl about talking with Jack Murphy for a position on the Memphis staff, the longtime NBA mentor jokingly remarked that Pastner would have to fight him for Murphy’s services. Karl was not attempting to be the proverbial “bully on the block.” The Nuggets’ head coach was complimenting Murphy and the job he did for the organization, and wanted to do everything in his power to keep him in Denver. However, in the end, Pastner was able to wrestle Murphy away to join his staff in the Bluff City. The reason Karl was so adamant about keeping Murphy in the Mile High City was his intense workouts he held with NBA All-Stars Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, along with rising NBA star J.R. Smith. It wasn’t only Karl that swore by Murphy’s workouts, the players themselves became believers as they saw their games improve throughout each season. And, the players’ improvements translated to winning seasons and playoff appearances for the Nuggets. In Murphy’s three seasons with Denver, the Nuggets averaged nearly 50 wins a season and earned three-straight playoff berths. Murphy’s final year with Denver was an historic one. The Nuggets won
a franchise-record 54 games (54-28 record), claimed a share of the NBA Northwest Division title and earned the Western Conference No. 2 seed in the playoffs. Denver advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 1985. Billups and Anthony were named to the All-NBA third team, while Billups played in the NBA All-Star Game. In 2007-08, Murphy helped the Nuggets to a 50-32 overall record and a second-place finish in the Northwest Division. Denver was the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs and lost in the first round. The previous year (2006-07), Denver finished the year with a 45-37 record and placed second in the Northwest Division. The Nuggets were the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference playoffs and lost in the first round to the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. Prior to his time in the NBA, Murphy worked with Pastner on Hall of Famer Lute Olson’s staff at Arizona. Murphy spent eight years (1998-2006) in Tucson as a team manager, recruiting coordinator, administrative assistant and video coordinator. During his time at Arizona, the Wildcats made eight-straight NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the national title contest in 2001. Arizona also posted 20 or more wins in each of Murphy’s eight years with the program.

Character is a quality that is high on head coach Josh Pastner’s list. He speaks of it often, and wants it to be an attribute of the Memphis basketball program. Pastner set that tone for the Tigers when he hired Willis Wilson as an assistant coach. Wilson, who had served as head coach at Rice from 1992-2008, is one of the most highly-respected coaches in the country. His reputation in the collegiate coaching circles — and for that matter, across college basketball — is impeccable. In addition, Wilson put together several winning seasons in his career. Wilson is the winningest coach in Rice basketball history and had the most winning campaigns in school history. His 2003-04 squad recorded a 22-11 overall record, and the 22 victories were the second-most for a single season since World War II. Willis guided the Owls to 60 wins in a threeyear span from 2002-05, marking the second-most victories in a three-year stretch in school history. The Silver Spring, Md., native also led the Owl program to the most postseason appearances since 1950. Wilson guided the Owls to three National Invitation Tournaments (NIT) in 1993, 2004 and 2005. Rice’s first round win at Wisconsin in the 1993 NIT was the program’s first postseason victory since the 1954 NCAA Tournament. Wilson was also an assistant on the Rice coaching staff when the Owls earned an NIT berth in 1991. In his tenure at Rice, Wilson coached 17 all-conference performers, including 2007 Conference USA Player of the Year Morris Almond. Almond, a 2007 NBA Draft first round pick, and Michael Harris (2005) both earned All-America accolades.Wilson also had four players pick up CoSIDA Academic All-District honors, including Adam Peakes who was
a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-America selection. Prior to taking over the reins of the Rice program, Wilson spent the 1991-92 campaign as an assistant on Mike Montgomery’s staff at Stanford. The Cardinal finished the season with an 18-11 overall record and a 10-8 Pac-10 mark for fourth place in the league. Stanford earned an NCAA Tournament bid and lost in the first round to Alabama. Willis coached All-America Adam Keefe, who finished his collegiate career as one of four players in NCAA history to have 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds while shooting 60 percent from the floor in a career. Wilson began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater in 1985-86. After a one-year stint as a head coach at the prep level, Wilson returned to Rice as an assistant from 1987-91.

After his hiring, Josh Pastner made it known that he was planning to take his time in assembling his staff. The new Memphis head coach wasn’t looking for quick fixes, but wanted to make right decisions. For the Director of Operations position, Pastner had a different vision. Instead of a “coach-in-waiting” in that role, Pastner wanted a person that could deal with all of the program’s external and internal operations so that the coaches could focus on academics, developing players, recruiting, scouting opponents and running practices. Pastner found the person that fit his vision in Eric Sebastian. Sebastian comes to the Bluff City after working in the Denver Nuggets media relations department since 1994, including the last six seasons (200309) as the department’s director. In his tenure as the media relations director in Denver, he worked with Nuggets head coach George Karl and NBA AllStars Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. Sebastian directed several successful campaigns for players receiving NBA All-Star and All-NBA honors, including Marcus Camby who earned
the 2006-07 NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. He also worked on statistical projects for the Nuggets coaches and management and assisted in the process of free agent recruiting. Sebastian was also a part of the Nuggets’ resurgence since 2003-04. Denver won 40 or more games each of those six seasons, and over that span of time averaged nearly 48 wins per campaign. The Nuggets also made playoff appearances each of the last six years. Sebastian’s final year with Denver was an historic one. The Nuggets won a franchise-record 54 games (54-28 record), claimed a share of the NBA Northwest Division title and earned the Western Conference No. 2 seed in the playoffs. Denver advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 1985. Billups and Anthony were named to the All-NBA third team, while Billups played in the NBA All-Star Game. Prior to joining the NBA, Sebastian served as an intern in the Dallas Cowboys media relations office and men’s World Cup organization in 1994.

The proverbial saying is “the proof is in the pudding.” Well, it’s very evident the outstanding job Richard Hogans is performing in the area of strength and conditioning within the Tiger basketball program. Three years ago, it was a national writer that commented that Antonio Anderson was a “beast” — and that was a compliment. Prior to the 2007-08 campaign, it was Willie Kemp who caught the eyes of many with his redefined physique. This season may provide the best piece of evidence on how well Hogans’ program works when Tiger Nation — along with the rest of the country — sees senior Pierre Henderson-Niles. The senior was 349 pounds during the summer of 2008 and was still around 300 pounds after the 2008-09 campaign. Since then, Henderson-Niles dropped 30 pounds to around 270, and he is still losing pounds and looks to be on pace to reach his goal of 260 by the start of the 2009-10 season. It’s transformation stories like those that has helped attract nationally-recognized recruits like Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans. Hogans’ strength and conditioning program has also aided in the Tigers’ deep postseason runs each March of his five-year tenure. In his five years with the Tigers, Hogans has been a part of the program that has posted a combined 159-30 record,
four-straight sweeps of the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and five-straight postseason trips, including four NCAA Tournament berths. The last four years, Hogans has been along on a magical ride that has seen Memphis go from November through the month of March Madness. The Tigers won an NCAA four-year record 137 games (137-14 record) from 2005-09 and became the first program in NCAA Division I history to have four-consecutive 30-win seasons (33-4 in 2005-06, 200607, 2008-09; 38-2 in 2007-08). The 38 victories in 2007-08 is an NCAA Division I single-season record. In that four-year span from 2005-09, Memphis advanced to four Sweet Sixteens, three Elite Eights, one Final Four and one NCAA championship game. The Tigers also had four-straight sweeps of the Conference USA regular season and tournament crowns, and carry a 61-game conference win streak into 2009-10. The streak is second-longest of its kind in NCAA Division I history. The Tigers finished each season from 2005-09 ranked in the top-five of the final Associated Press poll and top-10 of the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll. In his first season with Memphis in 2004-05, Hogans and the Tigers played into late March. Memphis posted a 22-16 record and advanced to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) semifinals.

Antonio Anderson hit the game-winning shot in the Tigers’ road victory at Tulsa. Anderson took the in-bounds pass from Willie Kemp near midcourt, dribbled through the Tulsa defense and scored a layup at the buzzer. The win kept Memphis’ C-USA win streak in tact, as the Tigers ended 2008-09 with their third-straight year with a perfect record in league play.

The 2007-08 University of Memphis basketball season was recordsetting — an NCAA record 38 wins, NCAA Tournament championship game appearance, NCAA South Region crown, Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and the program’s first No. 1 national ranking since 1983. The Tigers’ success was also measured by the numbers they put up in 2007-08. After that campaign was finished, the 2007-08 team set 11 single-season records, including most wins, longest homecourt win streak, most points, most rebounds, most three-pointers made, most assists and most blocked shots. The Tigers also jumped into the top five of five other single-season statistical categories. The Tigers held down the No. 1 spot in both national polls for a schoolrecord, five-straight weeks and also stayed in either the No. 1 or No. 2 position in both polls for 16-consecutive weeks, also a school record. 2. 3. 4. 5.

MEMPHIS’ FIRST NCAA TOURNAMENT WIN
The University of Memphis made the prestigious NCAA Tournament for the first time in 1955, but it was not uuntil 1973 that the Tigers enjoyed their first-ever tourney win. After compiling a 21-5 regular season mark during the 1972-73 season, the Tigers received a first-round bye and had to face South Carolina. The Gamecocks were led that year by Mike Dunleavy and Alex English. But it was the one-two combination of the Tigers’ Larry Kenon and Larry Finch that provided Memphis with its first NCAA victory. Kenon and Finch combined for 59 points to lead the Tigers to a convincing 90-76 win over the Gamecocks in Houston. The Tigers also recorded a phenomenal 60 rebounds, with Kenon leading the way with 20 boards. Memphis would go on to defeat a Lon Kruger-led Kansas State team in the Midwest Regional Final 92-72 to advance to the Final Four. The Tigers would defeat Providence 98-85, before losing to UCLA 87-66 in the championship game. Pictured at right is Finch who scored 29 points against the Bruins in the 1973 Finals. PAG E

Following are chronological notes and interesting facts about the tradition-rich history of Memphis basketball. If you have any questions or can add something to this section, please call Lamar Chance, basketball media relations director at (901) 678-2337.
HISTORY
1920-29
In the 1920s, West Tennessee State Normal School played its games in the Normal Cage, the YMCA and the Messick High School gym. The Normal Cage was a room in the Administration Building with the floor marked with the dimensions of a basketball court. The court allowed barely six inches from the court sidelines to the room's walls. Memphis Normal’s first head coach was Frederick Grantham, who also started for the Tigers at forward. Grantham led U of M to a 22-8 record in his only season as player/coach. At this time, the Tigers were members of the Scholastic League and finished second in 1920-21. The second-winningest coach in Memphis history is Zach Curlin, who began his coaching career in 1924. Curlin was Mr. Everything, coaching basketball, baseball and football for 23 years at Memphis, while also serving as director of athletics and physical education. The Tigers lost to Memphis YMCA on Feb. 27, 1925, for the city championship. In the Jan. 25, 1925, Commercial Appeal, it was stated that “popular prices” for Tiger games would be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for students and children. In 1928, the Tigers played their first season in the Mississippi Valley Conference and wound up playing in the title game against UT Martin Junior College. UT Martin won the game 3837. The West Tennessee State Normal Tigers began the 1929 season playing in Memorial Gym, the school’s new $100,000 on campus facility. The first game in the new gym was against Cumberland College on Jan. 14, 1929, and the Tigers won 40-27. Normal’s best player, Slick Headden, was suspended for an infraction of training rules and did not play in the contest. That year, the Tigers finished second in the Mississippi Valley Conference and placed three players on the All-Conference team.

Jackson, Tenn., the Tigers were scheduled to play Sunflower Junior College, but Sunflower withdrew from the tourney. Officials of the tournament prepared to rearrange the bracket to give the Tigers another opening round opponent. Curlin threatened to withdraw from the tournament because he thought the Tigers were entitled to a bye. Curlin, however, decided to play UT Martin and won 44-25. The Tigers upset Jacksonville (Ala.) on January 22, 1937, at Memorial Gym. The win was big because all of Jacksonville’s players were over six-feet tall, including its center who stood 6-5. The Tigers’ tallest player was 6-2. On March 10, 1937, the Commercial Appeal wrote that Curlin, who had coached football for 15 years, would coach only basketball and serve as athletic director. The 1937-38 team had the dubious distinction of losing all 14 games it played. It stands as the only winless season in Tiger basketball history.
1940-49
Some of the top players in the 1940s were Leslie Steele, Sam Hindsman, Howard Street, E.L. Hutton, Wayne Franklin, Randall Smith, Coy Creason, Phil Hodson, Bennie Reed, Jack Graninger and Van Mathis. In 1941, West Tennessee State Teachers College became Memphis State College. The Tigers went on to win nine of 17 games that year under their new name and claimed the city championship by defeating Southwestern twice. The 1940-41 season saw the Tigers fall to the World Champion New York Celtics, 48-43, in Memorial Gym. The Celtics agreed prior
to the game that they would not take any free throws, instead, getting the ball out of bounds. For three full quarters, forward Davey Banks and crew gave a dazzling exhibition and scored almost at will. Midway through the fourth quarter and leading by eight points, the Celtics famed comical circus went into action. At one point, Banks played for the Tigers and even the referee, Marion Hale, scored a bucket for the home team. The Tigers lost to Goldcrest 54-43 in front of 1,500 spectators at the Gaston Community Center. The game was part of a jubilee to raise money for the Dr. James Naismith Memorial. In a 72-41 win over Southwestern for the city championship in the 1941-42 season, star forward Leslie Steele scored a then record 42 points in front of a crowd of 600. It was the first time in Tiger history a player had scored over 40 points in a single game. There was no team in 1943-44 due to World War II, and the 1944-45 squad had to be made up of freshmen under the age of 18. Birthdays rolled around and two of the starters received presidential draft greetings. The 1947-48 season was the last season that Zach Curlin served as head coach. McCoy Tarry, known as the “little red head,” became the fifth head coach in U of M history in 1948. Tarry came to Memphis from Brewers High School in Brewers, Ky. One part of Tarry’s strategy was the use of five guards at the same time once the Tigers had a slight lead. The fivesome would then use their speed and quickness to freeze the basketball. Due to large crowds in the 1949-50 season, two games had to be moved to Messick High Gym and the Shelby County Building.
1930-39
Some of the outstanding players in the 1930s were Sam Hindsman, Milton Mayo, Bert Barnes, Doc Howell, Clyde Moore, Mooney Boswell, Red Humphreys, Jack Dodds, James Stroup, Elmer Vaughn, Otho Lynch, James (J.T.) Crawford and Alton Gardner. In the 1932 Mississippi Valley Tournament in

Madison Square Garden. Memphis defeated No. 4 Marshall College 104-85 at the Fieldhouse. In 1954, Lambert had the privilege to coach the first-ever Memphis All-American in Forrest Arnold. Arnold, who ranks fourth on Memphis’ all-time scoring list, helped lead the Tigers to 62 wins in his four-year career. One highlight of his sterling career, was a school-record (at the time) 46-point game against Hardin-Simmons in the old Fieldhouse. Memphis upsets nationally-ranked Mississippi State 94-68, as legendary coach Adolph Rupp scouts the Bulldogs. Rupp’s Kentucky squad was ranked No. 1 at the time. A reporter asked Rupp about the Tigers and Rupp responded by saying “no comment.” Season tickets for the 1955-56 campaign were $10 for 10 games.

The 1957 NIT marked a number of firsts for the Tigers. It was the school’s first appearance in the NIT, first official game at the famed Madison Square Garden, and the Utah contest in the opening round was Memphis’ first nationallytelevised game. Over 200 Memphis students piled into five chartered buses for the 17-hour ride to New York to watch their Tigers in the NIT. Another 300 fans were expected to make the trip in private cars. The bus arrived at the arena during halftime of Memphis’ thrilling overtime win over St. Bonaventure.

Bob Vanatta came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Bradley. During his six seasons at The U of M, Vanatta had a record of 109-34 and led the Tigers to three NITs and one NCAA appearance. The 1956-57 season turned out to be a special year for the Tigers. Not only was there a name change, but first-year coach Bob Vanatta took a cinderella team to the finals of the NIT in New York City. From that point, the name Memphis took on a different meaning. It was one of the most important years in Tiger basketball history. Memphis was ranked No. 12 in the nation on Jan. 5, 1956. On Jan. 11, 1956, the biggest crowd (4,000) in Memphis history saw the Tigers defeat Western Kentucky 80-64 at the Fieldhouse. More than 1,000 fans were turned away at the door. Some say the true arrival of Memphis basketball came on Feb. 2, 1957, when the Tigers upset No. 3 ranked Louisville at the Ellis Auditorium

HISTORY
The 1950s was a time when University of Memphis basketball grew into a household name thanks in part to head coach Eugene Lambert. Lambert, who was assisted by “Stormin’” Norman Sloan, led the Tigers to their first-ever NCAA appearance in 1955, where they fell to Penn State in the first round. Lambert took the Tigers to a second-straight NCAA appearance in 1956. That year, the Tigers lost to Oklahoma City in the first round, as Memphis was forced to play without four starters (Forest Arnold, Win Wilfong, Ken Caldwell and Orby Arnold) because of NCAA rules on freshmen and fouryear men. During Lambert’s five years at the helm, the Tigers had four winning seasons and two 20-win campaigns. On Dec. 3, 1950, in a win over NATTC, substitute guard Roy Darnell received the honor of scoring the 100th point of the game for the Tigers with two minutes left. It marked the first time in school history a Tiger team had reached the century mark. On Dec. 6, 1951, the Tigers open up their home season at the new $700,000 Fieldhouse gymnasium against Mississippi State in front of 3,500 spectators. The Bulldogs spoiled Memphis’ opener 60-58. The gym was officially dedicated on Feb. 11, 1952, as Governor Gordon Browning delivered a speech prior to the game with Ole Miss. On Dec. 15, 1951, the Tigers started their longest road trip in school history by playing at Idaho. The trip lasted a solid month, and Memphis played 13 games in six different states — Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Alabama and Mississippi. During the 13-game span, Memphis went 7-6. The Tigers spent Christmas in Spokane, Wash., before hopping a plane to Hawaii on Dec. 30. The trip also included the program’s first-ever plane ride. Memphis won the 1952 Tennessee NAIB basketball crown with a 45-38 win over Tennessee Tech at Cookeville. The Tigers earned the right to play in the National Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., where they defeated Baltimore 60-39, before being ousted by Portland 72-48 in the second round. Following the 1952 season, John Wallisa became the first-ever Memphis player to be drafted by the NBA. Wallesea went to the Minneapolis Lakers. Memphis took on the No. 1 ranked Pirates of Seton Hall in South Orange, N.J., on Jan. 22, 1953. The Tigers fell to the mighty Pirates, 103-85. The 85 points scored by Memphis were the most tallied by an opponent against Seton Hall up to that point. While on their trip east, the Tigers played an exhibition game against the Knickerbockers, a professional team, at

HISTORY
1960-69
Bob Vanatta accepted the head coaching position at the University of Missouri in 1962 and long time assistant, Dean Ehlers, became the Tigers’ eighth head coach. In his first year, the Tigers went 19-7 and received a bid to the NIT at Madison Square Garden. The Tigers were led that season by Larry Garber, Jamie McMahan, Hunter Beckman, John Hillman, Bob Neuman and King George Kirk. In 1961, Wayne Yates was voted by the Philadelphia Sportswriters as the best player to play in the Philadelphia area all season. Yates scored 25 points and ripped down 23 rebounds in a 78-74 win at Villanova. On Feb. 19, 1963, the Tigers played Dayton in front of a packed Fieldhouse. In fact, the fire marshalls stopped the game for several minutes to clear the aisles. At the time, Big Jack Eaton, the “Voice of the Tigers,” was at a loss for words and did not have any interviews to fill the interrupted broadcast. So what did Big Jack do? He resorted to singing. Eaton was the “Voice of the Tigers” from 1959 to 1987. By the way, the Tigers won the game 61-59 when Jamie McMahan tipped in a missed shot. The final season at the Fieldhouse was highlighted by Memphis’ startling 83-65 win over No. 2 ranked Loyola-Chicago before a standing room crowd of 4,000 on Jan. 20, 1964. The final official game ever played in the Fieldhouse was on Feb. 26, 1964, when Memphis fell to Xavier 99-86. Prior to the 1964-65 season, however, the Tigers said good-bye to the Fieldhouse for good when they played the annual Blue-Gray game before a packed house. During the early 1960s, it was decided that Memphis needed a new facility to showcase its basketball program. In December of 1964, the 11,200-seat Mid-South Coliseum opened. The Tigers hosted Texas A&M in the first collegiate game ever played in the building and U of M defeated the Aggies 82-73 before 8,763 fans. Memphis began the 1965-66 season south of the border with exhibition games in Mexico City against Mexico Poly, National Physical Education School, LaSalle and the University of Americas. In 1965, the Rebounders Club was officially formed to help promote Tiger basketball on a fulltime basis. The organization, which is in its 40th year, has over 500 members. In 1966, Moe Iba became the Tigers’ ninth head PAG E

coach. In Iba’s first year, the Tigers earned a trip to the 1967 NIT. That was the last tournament to be played in the old Madison Square Garden. Also on May 19, 1966, the Tigers became a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, making them the 24th school to enter the Missouri Valley family. The conference would later be referred to as “The Valley of Death” because no win came easy in the Valley. Iba was noted for his disciplinarian and hardworking style which was not the only factors that brought the multitude of basketball enthusiasts to the games. Iba’s vivid personality accounted for the sale of many tickets. As one supporter put it in 1966: “I’d pay two bucks just to see Iba.”
1970-79
The 1970s saw the arrival of Memphis basketball to the national scene. The decade brought with it new coach Gene Bartow, and immediately he parlayed experienced players like James Douglas, Don Holcomb and Fred Horton with two young budding stars in Larry Finch and Ronnie Robinson. Bartow, who coached the previous six seasons at Valparaiso, promised a wide-open style of basketball along with a zone press defense and some man-to-man. In his first game as a Tiger in 1970, Finch scored 24 points and let Tiger fans know instantly they had a special player when he swished a 25-foot jump shot just five seconds into the game. Following Memphis’ stirring 78-75 upset of Louisville on Jan. 9, 1971, the Tigers jumped into the Top 20 for the first time in a decade. On Jan. 15, the Tigers, with an 11-2 record, found themselves ranked 19th in the AP poll. The 1971-72 season marked the first for public address announcer Fred Cook. Cook worked his first game against Missouri-Rolla that year
and would go on to enjoy a long relationship with the Tigers. In what some called at the time “the greatest game ever played in the Mid-South Coliseum,” Memphis fell to No. 2 ranked Marquette 74-73 on Dec. 7, 1971. The Tigers enjoyed a five-point lead in the final minute of play, but a lane violation, missed free throw and a desperation basket on the game’s final play gave Al McGuire's team the victory. On Feb. 2, 1972, 17,000 fans were waiting when the Tigers took the court in Louisville’s Freedom Hall. It was a place where Memphis had never won in nine previous tries. Thanks to the scoring of Finch and the rebounding of Robinson, the Tigers defeated Louisville 77-69 to grab a share of the lead in the Missouri Valley Conference. Due to identical 12-2 conference marks, Memphis and Louisville played a playoff game on Mar. 11, 1972, in Nashville to determine which Missouri Valley team would represent the league in the NCAA Midwest Regional. Memphis lost to the Cardinals 83-72, and had to settle for its fifth NIT appearance. Perhaps the most remembered season in Tiger basketball history and the one that put Memphis State on the map permanently, was the 1972-73 campaign led by Finch, Robinson, Bill Laurie and newcomers Larry Kenon, Billy Buford, West Westfall and Bill Cook. The Tigers reeled off 14-straight wins during one stretch, captured the Missouri Valley title and received the school’s first bid to the NCAA tournament since 1962. Playing in the regional finals in Houston, Texas, the Tigers knocked off South Carolina and Kansas State to advance to the Final Four for the first time in school history. The Tigers defeated Providence in the semifinals and earned a spot in the title game against the powerful UCLA Bruins, led by Bill Walton. The Tigers battled the mighty Bruins to a 39-39 halftime tie, but Walton was too much in the second half as

On June 13, 1975, Memphis announced that it was joining with five other major universities in the formation of a new athletic conference. The following is a statement that was released by athletic director Billy J. Murphy: “We are very pleased to announce that our president, Dr. Billy M. Jones, has approved Memphis’entrance into a new major basketball conference, which will begin operation immediately. The official name of the new conference is the Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference, and can be referred to as the MCAC or the Metro 6.” The Tigers joined with Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Saint Louis and Tulane.

HISTORY
UCLA defeated the Tigers 87-66. Walton hit an NCAA Tournament record 21 of 22 shots and scored 44 points to pace the Bruins. Finch and Kenon were the only Tigers to score in double figures. Finch netted 29 and Kenon tallied 20. Also that season, head coach Gene Bartow was named NABC National Coach of the Year. Larry Finch, Memphis’ head coach from 1986 to 1997, rewrote the Memphis record book in 1973 claiming nine of 13 individual records. During his career, the 6-2 guard earned AllMissouri Valley Conference Team honors three times, MVC Player of the Year award in 1972 and 1973 and All-American accolades (seven teams). Finch’s sportsmanship on the court and his community involvement off combined to make him one of the best-loved players ever to wear the Blue and Gray. Finch’s number 21 is one of eight retired jerseys hanging in the rafters of FedExForum. In 1973, the Memphis established the M Club Athletic Hall of Fame. Each year an annual induction ceremony is held during the fall and eight new members are installed. Since its inception, 39 former Tiger basketball players have been inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame. A complete list of basketball hall of famers is included in this section of the Memphis media guide. In 1974, Gene Bartow left Memphis and former Tiger All-American Wayne Yates was hired to guide the basketball team. Yates had served as an assistant coach under Bartow. In his five years at the helm, Yates led the Tigers to three-straight 20-win seasons, one NCAA and two NITs. During his tenure, the Tiger roster read like a Who's Who of college basketball with the likes of Bill Cook, Dexter Reed, John Gunn, Marion Hillard, Clarence Jones, John Washington,Alvin Wright,
star player John Gunn was taken ill with a rare disease - Stevens-Johnson syndrome - and was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 11. Only 90 minutes before the tipoff of the Memphis-Ole Miss game on Dec. 21, at about 6:35 p.m., Gunn died from complications of the disease which attacks the body’s mucous membrane. “John Gunn was a great, strong competitor, full of life and energy,” athletic director Billy J. Murphy said. “It is very difficult to even imagine that he is gone. Our community and our University will miss him greatly. He fought with all his might to overcome this disease because that’s the type person he was. Now it is up to all of us to carry on. That’s the way John would have wanted it.” The remainder of the 1976-77 season was dedicated to Gunn, and the players wore black bands on their uniforms as a sign of mourning. In 1979, Wayne Yates left Memphis and Dana Kirk was hired to direct the Tiger basketball program. Kirk had led Virginia Commonwealth to a 24-5 record during the 1978-79 season, and prior to three seasons at VCU, was an assistant coach for five years at Louisville. He hired two young assistants in Larry Finch, former Tiger head coach, and Lee Fowler, current athletic director at North Carolina State, to help structure the program.
Gene Bartow’s 1972 Memphis team was the first Tiger club in five years to advance to postseason play, accepting a bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).

HISTORY
Andre Turner tracks down a loose ball during the Tigers’ 1985 NCAA Final Four game against eventual national champion Villanova.
The 1980s saw the great one-on-one battles of Keith Lee vs Hakeem Olajuwon, Keith Lee vs Patrick Ewing and Keith Lee vs Wayman Tisdale, not to mention the classic MemphisLouisville confrontations. In 1981, Memphis signed a 6-11 basketball phenom from West Memphis, Ark., who would rewrite the Tiger basketball record book. Keith Lee, who had led West Memphis High School to two undefeated seasons, made an immediate impact on Memphis basketball. During his fouryear career, the Tigers went 104-24, made the NCAA Tournament four times, including one Final Four appearance in 1985, and claimed three Metro Tournament titles. On Jan. 10, 1982, Memphis was voted the No. 1 ranked team in the country by both the Associated Press and UPI polls for the first time in school history. The ranking was short lived, however. That same night, Virginia Tech upset the Tigers in Blacksburg 69-56. In the second round of the 1983 NCAA Tournament, Memphis took on Georgetown in a game that will never be forgotten by Tiger fans. It would be a battle of Keith Lee against Patrick Ewing. Lee owned Ewing on this day, scoring 28 points and grabbing 15 rebounds to lead the Tigers to a 66-57 victory. The win set up a regional matchup with No. 1 ranked Houston and Akeem Olajuwon. The 1984-85 campaign would go down as another magical season for Tiger basketball. The Tigers breezed to a 24-3 regular season record and swept through the Metro Conference Tournament in Louisville before being sent to Houston, Texas, for the first round of the NCAAs. Memphis defeated Pennsylvania, UAB, Boston College and Oklahoma to earn PAG E
its second trip to the Final Four. The Tigers met Villanova in the semifinals in Lexington, Ky., and fell to the eventual champion 52-45. Memphis ended the year with 31 wins, the second-most ever in school history. The 1985-86 season got off to another flying start as the Tigers raced to a school record 20-0 start that included wins over nationally-ranked Kansas and Louisville. Memphis, ranked No. 2, traveled to Blacksburg, Va., to take on Virginia Tech, a team it had beaten by 22 points just five days earlier. But the Hokies handed the Tigers their first loss of the season 76-72. Memphis ended the year with a 28-6 mark and a final ranking of No. 7 by the Associated Press. After another NCAA appearance in 1986, Memphis basketball moved to a new era the following season, when it announced that former All-American guard Larry Finch would take over the reins as head coach. The announcement came on Sept. 25, 1986. In his first season, Finch inherited a team on probation and three key players lost to graduation and the NBA. No one expected him to win, so what did he do? Finch guided the Tigers to a 26-8 season, a Metro Tournament championship and was named Basketball Times Rookie Coach of the Year. With the Tigers on probation, Metro officials took a vote whether they should allow the Tigers to compete in the tournament. The vote was unanimous much to the chagrin of Louisville coach Denny Crum. “I don’t think anybody should be in the Metro Tourney if they are on probation,” said Crum. Memphis beat Cincinnati and South Carolina before beating Crum’s Cardinals 75-52 for the third time that year. Finch’s first season was also dubbed the “Sea-

son for Miracles” after Memphis’ numerous comeback victories. In the season opener against Cleveland State, the Tigers trailed with 10 minutes to play before mounting a 70-66 come-from-behind victory. In one of the most incredible wins in Tiger history, Memphis trailed Oral Roberts on the road by seven points with 15 seconds left in the game. The Tigers ended up winning when John Wilfong hit a last second three-pointer. Dubbed the “Cardiac Kids,” the Tigers forced Memphis officials to post signs warning people with heart conditions to not watch the Tigers play. After embarrassing Louisville on national television, New Orleans came to town and led the Tigers by eight points with under two minutes to play. Yes, you guessed it. Memphis reached into its bag of tricks and pulled out another miracle win on a last second shot by Wilfong. Memphis also went on to post come-from-behind victories over Southern Miss and South Carolina. One of Finch’s first recruits as a head coach was the exciting Elliot Perry, who played for the Tigers from 1987-91. Perry, who had his jersey number 34 retired in 1992, is the second leading scorer in U of M history. One of the unbelievable highlights of the 1988-89 season was a 24-0 start for the Tigers against eighth-ranked Louisville in Freedom Hall. Memphis, however, had to hang on to win 72-67. That same year, the Tigers made the NCAA field as a No. 5 seed, and Finch was named Metro Coach of the Year.
1990-99
The decade of the 1990s got off to a sweet start when the No. 1 high school player in the nation, Anfernee Hardaway, inked with the Tigers. The 6-7 swingman from Memphis’ Treadwell High School, was the Parade Magazine National Player of the Year in 1990 after averaging 36.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 3.3 steals a game. Hardaway, however, had to sit and watch during the 1990-91 season because he was unable to play due to academic problems. Patiently waiting, Hardaway was struck with tragedy in April of 1991 when he was shot in the foot while being robbed. Hardaway missed summer workouts, but was ready when practice opened on Oct. 15 with the bullet still lodged in his foot. On Oct. 26, the bullet was removed after it had shifted to a spot that was advantageous for removal. Hardaway was back to 100 percent, but still a little rusty after all the missed time. The 1990-91 season marked Memphis’ last in the Metro Conference as the Tigers prepared to move to the Great Midwest. The Tigers enjoyed 16 successful seasons in the Metro, recording an overall 134-85 mark in conference games. Memphis also collected three regular season

The Tigers were in the Elite Eight, but it was short lived as conference foe Cincinnati ended Memphis’ run to the Final Four with an 88-57 win over the Blue and Gray. It marked the fourth time in 1991-92 that the Tigers had lost to the Bearcats. Elliot Perry (1987-91) joined an elite club on Feb. 8, 1993, when Memphis retired his jersey in a pregame ceremony. Perry became the sixth Memphis player to be so honored. “He meant a lot to this program, and I’ll be forever grateful to the little guy,” former U of M coach Larry Finch said. “Everyone in America wanted him, but he stayed here. He’s a role model-type individual. Everybody that knew him loved him.” Perry graduated in May of 1992 with a degree in marketing. On June 11, 1992, Hardaway was named one of eight collegiate standouts selected to train with the 1992 Dream Team. The collegians were brought together to scrimmage the NBA

Others named to the squad were: Grant Hill (Duke), Allan Houston (Tennessee), Bobby Hurley (Duke), Jamal Mashburn (Kentucky), Eric Montross (UNC), Rodney Rogers (Wake Forest) and Chris Webber (Michigan). Larry Finch reached a milestone on Dec. 21, 1992 against Chaminade in Maui by competing in his 500th game as a player, assistant coach and head coach combined at Memphis. Against Georgia State on Jan. 4, 1993, Hardaway registered the school’s first-ever triple-double with 21 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high 14 assists. Two nights later in a win over 18thranked Vanderbilt, Hardaway made it back-toback triples with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. On Feb. 6, Memphis upset fourth-ranked Cincinnati,68-66 to record the school’s 1,000th all-time basketball victory. The win gave the Tigers a 72-year combined record of 1,000 wins and 644 losses (.608). The NCAA, however, did not recognize Memphis as winning its 1,000th game

crowns and four tournament titles. The year also meant the end of the highly-competitive series with Louisville. Later that season, the Tigers closed out 27 years at the Mid-South Coliseum on a sour note by falling to Arkansas State 58-57 in the NIT second round. Memphis compiled a 343-90 (.792) record at the “Roundhouse,” including three unbeaten seasons (1981-82, 1984-85, 1985-86). The Memphis athletic department recognized and invited back all the players, coaches and administrators that were associated with the program during the Mid-South years, to the final regular season game against Virginia Tech. In the fall of 1990, Finch’s nephew, David Vaughn, inked with the Tigers. The 6-9 Vaughn, a McDonald's and Parade All-American, was rated one of the top five recruits in the country by some analysts. On Nov. 16, 1990, an official press conference was held at the Downtown Athletic Club in Chicago announcing the formation of the Great Midwest Conference. Along with Memphis, the other five charter members were UAB, Cincinnati, DePaul, Marquette and Saint Louis. The Memphis basketball took on a new look in 1991-92. Not only was it the beginning of the Hardaway/Vaughn era, but it also marked the first year in the Great Midwest Conference and the inaugural season in The Pyramid. Everything came together at once on Nov. 29, 1991, in the season opener against 20th-ranked DePaul. The game, televised by ESPN, was the first game for Hardaway and Vaughn, the first contest in The Pyramid and the first game between two Great Midwest foes. The Tigers, however, fell in overtime to the Blue Demons 92-89. The Tigers struggled early in 1991-92 and carried just an 8-6 record after the first half. But then Hardaway and Vaughn started to click, and Memphis won 10 of its last 13 regular season games, including victories over Vanderbilt, No. 5 ranked Arkansas and No. 21 ranked Tulane. Memphis made it all the way to the championship game of the inaugural GMC Tournament, before losing to 14th-ranked Cincinnati 69-59. Memphis’ season didn’t end there, as it earned a trip to the NCAAs as a No. 6 seed in the Midwest Regional at Milwaukee. In the opening round of the 1992 Tournament, the Tigers defeated Pepperdine to setup a second round game with sixth-ranked Arkansas. In a game filled with emotion, Memphis prevailed for the second time when David Vaughn hit the game-winner with five seconds left. Memphis advanced to the Sweet Sixteen and traveled to Kansas City, Mo., to meet Georgia Tech. It looked like the Tigers’ season would end when Yellow Jacket center Matt Geiger completed a three-point play with 36 seconds left to give Georgia Tech a 74-70 lead. Memphis, however, kept the faith and its poise as Billy Smith sent

until it recorded three more victories. The reason for this discrepancy was because the NCAA did not acknowledge Memphis’ participation in the 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986 NCAA Tournaments where the Tigers compiled a combined 9-5 record because of violations. Therefore, the NCAA showed the Tigers entering the 1993-94 season with an all-time mark of 997-632. The Tigers, however, recognize the games as being played and went on to celebrate their milestone victory. Anfernee Hardaway became the highest drafted Memphis player ever when Golden State picked him as the third player in the first round of the NBA Draft on June 30, 1993. Hardaway, however, was a Warrior for just 20 minutes as Golden State traded him to Orlando for Chris Webber. The Magic also received first round picks in 1996, 1998 and 2000. “He was absolutely spectacular. He impressed everyone in the building and practically everyone within a half-mile,” Magic President Dick DeVos said following Hardaway’s workout the day before the draft. After the draft, Boston Globe writer Bob Ryan said “Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee Hardaway will be in the ‘90s what Kareem and Magic were in the ‘80s.” Other Hardaway highlights: Was the only player in Division I-A in 1991-92 and 1992-93, to rank in the top five in his respective conference in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots ...

In April of 1993, Larry Finch completed his recruiting class in fine fashion by inking one of the nation’s top players in 6-6 Deuce Ford. The 1993 class was ranked as high as No. 2 in the country and was the best under Finch. Ford, Cedric Henderson and Johnny Miller were all rated among the nation’s top 30 prospects. Memphis made history on Dec. 30, 1993, when it became the first Division I program to televise a men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader live. The Lady Tigers hosted nationally-ranked Tennessee at The Pyramid, which preceded the Tigers’ game with Georgetown. WPTY-TV in Memphis televised both games. On July 1, 1994, Memphis State University officially became The University of Memphis. The Tigers left for Australia to play an eightgame basketball tour on July 26, 1994. It marked the first-ever trip overseas for Memphis. The team went 5-3 on the 16-day trip, came closer together as a group and learned a lot about a different part of the world. On Mar. 2, 1995, the Tigers captured the 1995 Great Midwest Conference regular season title with a win at Cincinnati. Junior Michael Wilson exploded for 33 points. For the second time in his career, David Vaughn hit a last second shot, this time against Purdue, to send Memphis to the Sweet Sixteen. The Tigers went on to Kansas City, where they fell to Arkansas in an overtime heartbreaker 96-91. In April of 1995, Memphis became one of the 11 charter members of Conference USA. Other charter members were Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. On Aug. 12, 1995, Lorenzen Wright left for Florida to practice with the 1995 World University Games team. Wright and his teammates flew to Japan on Aug. 24 to compete. Wright, a team captain, helped lead the USAto a 7-0 record and a gold medal. Wright was the first player in Tiger history to play in major international competition and win a gold medal.

with hundreds of more fans being turned away at the door. The highlight of the evening was Michael Wilson’s attempt to break the Vertical Height Dunk Record of 11 feet, seven inches. Wilson attempted a dunk of 11 feet, eight inches and fell about one half inch from successfully making the attempt. ESPN covered Wilson’s attempt. On Dec. 20, 1995, University of Memphis star Lorenzen Wright was named one of 10 finalists for the prestigious AAU Sullivan Award. Wright made the final cut from 36 nominees and was the only men's college basketball player to make the list. The AAU Sullivan Award is considered the “Oscar” among sports awards. On Feb. 20, 1996, Coach Larry Finch won his 200th career game with the Tigers’ 91-66 victory over Southern Miss. The win also assured Memphis of a first-round bye in the C-USA Tournament. Lorenzen Wright was taken as the seventh overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. Wright became just the third Tiger player to be a lottery pick. Wright left Memphis following his sophomore season. Michael Wilson, who played for the Tigers from 1994-96, became a member of the Harlem Globetrotters in August of 1996. Wilson, who started being pursued by the Globetrotters that March, is the first Tiger in school history to join the world travelling and entertaining basketball team.

down as head coach at the conclusion of the 1996-97 season. The announcement, carried live by local television stations, marked the end of an 11-year stint as leader of the Tiger program. On Mar. 27, 1997, athletic director R.C. Johnson introduced Tic Price as the Tigers’ new head men’s basketball coach to Memphis boosters and fans. Price came to the Tigers via New Orleans, where he was the head coach for three seasons. On June 25, 1997, former Tiger star Cedric Henderson was selected in the second round as the 45th overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rookie Marcus Moody poured in a freshman record 41 points in the Tigers’ 80-78 win at Oklahoma on Dec. 13, 1997. Memphis clinched the C-USA National Division title with an 89-76 win over Houston in the Tigers’final regular-season home game Feb. 26, 1998. The victory cinched a first-round bye for Memphis at the Conference USA Tournament, but the Tigers were upset by Southern Miss 8557 in the quarterfinals played in Cincinnati. In March of 1999, Memphis and WMC-AM 790 finalized a three-year agreement for broadcast rights to Tiger football and basketball games. Memphis’ game-day broadcasts returned to the station which had aired Tiger athletics for 28-consecutive years. On Nov. 14, 1999, Johnny Jones was named the Tigers’ interim head coach in wake of Tic Price’s sudden resignation that same day. Jones
Teammates, players, fellow coaches, family and friends honored the former Tiger player and coach as the University of Memphis dedicated the Larry O. Finch Recreational Facility Feb. 17, 2000. Keynote speakers of the dedication were Memphis mayor Willie Herrenton, Middle Tennessee State athletic director Lee Fowler, who was an assistant coach at Memphis in the 1980s, and UAB athletic director Gene Bartow, who coached Finch and the Tigers to the 1973 NCAA championship game. The who’s who of invited guests included Ronnie Robinson, who came to Memphis from Melrose High School with life-long friend and teammate Finch and together led the Tigers to one of the most memorable moments in U of M basketball history. Both players’ jerseys have been retired. John Calipari was introduced as the Memphis’ 16th head coach on Mar. 11, 2000 during a press conference at The Pyramid. The press conference, held just hours after the conclusion of the 2000 OCG Conference USA Tournament, was broadcast live locally on television and radio. During an eight-year stint as coach at the University of Massachusetts, John Calipari’s biggest rival in the Atlantic 10 Conference was Temple. And, in a nationally-televised game on ESPN, the Owls spoiled Calipari’s debut in Memphis, defeating the Tigers 67-62 before a sellout crowd at The Pyramid. Memphis junior Kelly Wise set a ThompsonBoling Arena record with 21 rebounds in the Tigers’ 86-76 loss at Tennessee Dec. 5, 2000. Later in December, he equaled the mark with 21 boards in a loss at Miami, Fla. Wise’s 21 boards were the second-highest game total in Conference USA history. For the year, Wise had 363 rebounds to set a league record. Calipari’s first season got off to a slow 4-8 start with the Tigers playing six schools which were ranked in the months of November or December. Memphis posted a 7-0 record during the month of January and won eight-straight games at one point. The Tigers, for the first time since becoming a charter member of Conference USA, swept four, two-game series against National Division opponents. After advancing to the semifinals of the Conference USA Tournament, the Tigers opened play in the TiVo NIT with a 71-62 win at Utah on
Mar. 13, 2001. Utah had won 91 percent of its games (150-14) at home over the last 11 years when the Tigers posted the win. Memphis went on to defeat Detroit 86-71 Mar. 29 in New York City’s Madison Square Garden to capture third place at the tournament. Memphis held its annual awards banquet April 22 in the Cook Convention Center. Dubbed simply “The Banquet,” the evening included Memphis native Isaac Hayes entertaining the 700 guests with two songs. Hayes also presented the team’s MVP award to Kelly Wise. Junior center Earl Barron’s work in the summer paid off as he was named to the 2001 USA Basketball Men’s World University Games (WUG) Team, which traveled to Beijing, China. Barron averaged 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds and shot 68.8 percent from the field and made both of his three-point attempts over the course of eight games during the WUGs. Team USA advanced undefeated through pool and quarterfinal play before suffering an 83-82 loss to host China and in the semifinals. Barron had five points, four rebounds and one assist in a tournament-high 15 minutes against a Chinese team which featured future NBA first-round pick Yao Ming. USA rebounded to defeat Germany 80-78 to medal for the 17th-straight time. Prior to the 2001-02 season, Memphis coach John Calipari teamed with Philadelphia 76ers and NBA Player of the Year Allen Iverson and Reebok to unveil the first of several new I3 basketball courts which were built throughout Memphis and Shelby County. The first dedicated courts were located near downtown at Foote Homes and Dixie Homes.

1964-91 for its annual preseason celebration. Honored during the evening were members of Memphis’ 1957 NIT finalist team, the 1973 NCAA finalist squad, the 1985 NCAA Final Four team and the 1992 NCAA Elite Eight team. Before the year ever began, the Memphis announced a sellout of all season tickets on Oct. 28, 2001, for the upcoming season. For a second-straight year, the Tigers set a record for total paid attendance and went over 300,000 in season attendance for the first time in school history, drawing 349,737 in 21 games played at The Pyramid. The 16,654 per-game averaged ranked second in school history only to the previous season’s numbers. Memphis captured its first postseason title in any intercollegiate sport as the Tigers won the 2002 Owens Corning NIT championship. Earl Barron scored a career-high 25 points as the Tigers defeated South Carolina 72-62 in the title game played in New York’s Madison Square Garden. Dajuan Wagner matched a career-high with 32 points two nights earlier and had the game-winning assist, a pass leading to a dunk by Kelly Wise with 18.6 seconds remaining, as the Tigers posted a 78-77 win over Temple in the tournament’s semifinal game. Dajuan Wagner was named the MVP of the Owens Corning NIT, averaging 21.4 points over five tournament games. Earl Barron was named to the NIT All-Tournament Team. In his lone season as a Memphis Tiger, Wagner scored 762 points to set a Memphis single-season scoring record. He was named honorable mention All-America by Associated Press, Conference USA’s Freshman of the Year as well as selected to the league’s all-conference team and was an all-district pick by both the United States Basketball Writers Association and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He was also selected to The Sporting News All-Freshman Team. Wagner averaged 21.2 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals during his rookie season. Kelly Wise wrapped up his collegiate career as Conference USA’s all-time rebound leader (1,075) as well as one of the top 10 scorers in Memphis history (1,487 points). Wise struggled through the second half of his senior season with a knee injury, but with the senior healthy, the Tigers posted a 26-5 record. He was twice named the Conference USA Player of the Week during the season and three times during his career. Following its run to the 2002 NIT title, a victory parade was held for the Memphis Tigers on Beale Street April 6, and the Tigers were honored during a post-parade ceremony held in the W.C. Handy Performing Arts Park. After missing the first half of the 2002-03 season, Chris Massie made his senior-season debut by scoring 13 points and pulling down

Memphis won for the first time in Fayetteville, defeating Arkansas 72-67 on Jan. 2, 2003. Memphis had lost all of its previous five games played against the Razorbacks in Northwest Arkansas. The Tigers gathered at the Calipari home March 16, 2003, to watch the NCAA Selection Show and learn of their postseason fate. The Tigers received a No. 7 seed and were sent to Oklahoma City for a first round game against Arizona State. ESPN was on hand for the selection party and interviewed John Calipari during its SportsCenter broadcast later that evening. The 2003-04 Tigers won the program’s first conference title since 1995-96 when they captured a share of the Conference USA regular season crown. Memphis posted a 12-4 league mark. For the third-straight year, Memphis put together a long winning streak. The Tigers won 11-consecutive games from Jan. 17 through Feb. 24.

FOUR-STRAIGHT 30 WIN SEASONS (NCAA FIRST)
Hanging from the rafters in FedExForum are eight Tiger jerseys which symbolize the great success that The University of Memphis basketball has enjoyed over its 82-year history. The retired jerseys belong to Win Wilfong (#22), John Gunn (#44), Larry Finch (#21), Ronnie Robinson (#33), Keith Lee (#24), Elliot Perry (#34), Anfernee Hardaway (#25) and Forest Arnold (#13). Wilfong’s was the first jersey the Tigers retired. Following, in order of induction, are biographies of the eight players whose exploits in the Tiger blue and gray have earned them the distinction of having their jerseys forever hang high above FedExForum.

HISTORY
Win Wilfong The late Win Wilfong, who stands 24th on the University of Memphis’ all-time scoring list with 1,203 points, played basketball for the Tigers from 1955-57 and led the Tigers to a 44-13 mark. Wilfong played under coaches Eugene Lambert and Bob Vanatta and was considered, at the time, the best player in Tiger history. Wilfong, a versatile player, could do it all in his time — score, rebound and handle the basketball. In the U of M record book, he currently stands in the top 10 in several different statistical categories. For his career, Wilfong averaged 21.5 points and 12.3 rebounds a game. In the 1955-56 season against Union, Wilfong poured in 40 points, which stands as the seventh-most in a single game at the U of M. In fact, Wilfong had 30 or more points in 11 different games during his career. In the 1956-57 season, which some say was the true arrival of Memphis basketball, Wilfong led the Tigers to their first NIT bid at famed Madison Square Garden. The Tigers opened up with a 77-75 win over Utah in the U of M’s first-ever nationally-televised game. Two nights later, the Tigers upended Manhattan 85-73, and then slipped past St. Bonaventure 80-78 on a last second shot. In the title game against Bradley, Wilfong scored 31 points and was named MVP. The Tigers, however, lost the game 84-83. Also in 1957, Wilfong became the U of M’s first-ever first team All-American when he was named to the Converse All-American first team. In 1956, he was honored by United Press International as an honorable mention All-American.

44 John Gunn
Nicknamed “Big John,” the late John Gunn was a valiant young man who won the hearts and genuine admiration of all. He was courageous, competitive and a winner. Gunn played on the Wayne Yates-coached teams from 1974 to 1976. As a freshman, Gunn averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds a game and played a big factor in Memphis’ impressive 20-7 record that included a trip to the NIT. That year his teammates voted him “Mr. Hustle.” As a sophomore, the 6-foot-9 Gunn averaged 10 points and eight rebounds. His career-high game was 25 points as a freshman against Buffalo State, but his best game was against Louisville his sophomore year in the Metro Tournament when he scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked two shots. A tragic event then struck the Tiger basketball program at the start of the 1976-77 season. After just three games, Gunn was taken ill with a rare disease, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and admitted to the hospital. Ten days later on Dec.21, Gunn was pronounced dead at the age of 21 due to complications of the disease. Gunn attended Melrose High School, where he played for Coach Verties Sails. His senior year at Melrose, along with Tiger teammates Alvin Wright and James Bradley, the Wildcats were undefeated and won the Tennessee state championship with a 35-0 record. That same year, Gunn was chosen as one of the five best basketball prospects in the nation and was voted the Tennessee Player of the Year.
21 Larry Finch
When you think of University of Memphis basketball, you immediately think of Larry Finch. The legendary player, assistant coach and former head coach was synonymous with Tiger basketball for 25 years. Finch’s jersey was retired on Nov. 30, 1974. Finch, who competed in over 500 games as a Tiger player and coach combined, ranks fourth behind former Tiger stars Keith Lee, Elliot Perry and Rodney Carney on the Memphis all-time scor-

ing list with 1,869 points. Finch was the catalyst in Memphis reaching the NCAA Final Four for the first time ever in 1973, when the Tigers lost to UCLA and Bill Walton in the national finals. During the 1973 tournament, Finch averaged 26.8 points a game, including 29 against the Bruins. In Finch’s three years at Memphis, the Tigers put together a record of 63-21 and either won or tied for two Missouri Valley Conference Championships. He earned honorable mention All-American honors from both the Associated Press and United Press International, and was named to four other All-American teams his senior season after breaking nine individual the U of M records at the time. Finch was also the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 1972 and the conference’s Newcomer of the Year in 1971. Finch, who holds the record for most points scored in a game, is still ranked in the top five in over 20 different statistical categories.

Ronnie Robinson One of the best rebounders in Tiger history, the late Ronnie “Big Cat” Robinson teamed with Larry Finch to lead Memphis to the 1973 Final Four. Robinson played on the varsity team from 1970-73 under Coach Gene Bartow. Robinson, a Tiger All-American, came to Memphis from Melrose High School with his life-long friend and teammate Finch. Together, they rewrote the U of M basketball record book and led the team to its finest moment. In the U of M’s run to the title game against UCLA, Robinson averaged 14.0 rebounds a game and had three double-doubles in the Tigers’ four tournament outings. He pulled down 17 boards against South Carolina, 16 versus Kansas State and Providence and seven in the loss to the Bruins. Robinson was a three-year starter who worked as both a center and forward. He averaged in double figures in both scoring and rebounding throughout his career and still holds the distinction of being the one of only four Tigers to have scored 1,000 points and have 1,000 rebounds. Against Tulsa in 1971, Robinson scored a career-high 30 points and, ironically, set the school rebounding record in the same game with 28 boards. Robinson had three other games in his career in which he collected 24 caroms. He was a threetime All-Missouri Valley Conference selection, was named to the Vanderbilt Classic and Sun Bowl All-Tournament teams and received All-America

honors (Converse and Basketball News) as a senior. Robinson is the school’s second all-time field goal percentage leader (57.7) and is the fourth all-time leading rebounder with 1,066 boards. As a junior, Robinson finished ninth in the nation in field goal percentage. Robinson, who stands 29th on Memphis’ all-time scoring list with 1,150 points, was drafted in the fourth round of the NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns in 1973, but ended up signing with the Memphis Tams of the ABA.

34 Elliot Perry
Elliot Perry, who is the University of Memphis second all-time leading scorer, was one of the finest point guards to ever play for the Tigers. The 6-foot, 150-pound Perry, led the Tigers to four-straight postseason tournaments and 76 wins. Perry, who played and started every game of his career, paced the Tigers in scoring, assists and steals three years in a row. Coming out of Treadwell High School, Perry was rated one of the best players in the country. He averaged 34.5 points a game as a prep senior and was named the Tennessee state Player of the Year and was tabbed a McDonald’s All-American. He didn’t let up as a Tiger either. In his freshman season, Perry put the team on his shoulders and led them to a 20-12 record and an NCAA bid. That year, Perry was named Metro Conference Freshman of the Year and was considered the top freshman point guard in the country by Sport Magazine. In Perry’s senior season, the little guy led the Metro Conference in scoring with a 20.8 average and steals with 85. Perry was voted first team All-Metro Conference and finished second in the Metro Player of the Year tabulation. Perry also became Memphis’ and the Metro Conference’s career leader in steals with 300 and became just the 10th player in NCAA history to collect as many. He also hit game-winning buzzer shots against Florida State and Miami and hit a threepointer at the buzzer to send the East Tennessee game into overtime. Against ETSU, Perry scored a career-high 42 points. For his career, Perry is ranked in the top 10 in over 25 different statistical categories. Perry’s number 34 jersey was retired in February of 1992.

Anfernee Hardaway The most electrifying player in Tiger history, Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway became the seventh player to have his jersey retired when the University of Memphis honored him on Jan. 23, 1994. Hardaway, who last played with the New TI G ER

York Knicks in 2005-06, enjoyed a fabulous two seasons with the Tigers by leading the squad to two-straight NCAA appearances, including an Elite Eight showing in 1992. For his career, Hardaway guided the Tigers to a 43-23 record (.652), eight wins over nationallyranked teams and recorded the school’s first-ever triple-doubles. His two-season scoring numbers are good enough to be tied for 15th-best all-time and he set numerous other records in just 66 games. The people who were fortunate enough to see the consensus All-American and two-time Great Midwest Conference Player of the Year should cherish those moments forever. He could do it all on the basketball court — score, pass, rebound, block shots, collect timely steals and bring a crowd to its feet with electrifying slam dunks. Hardaway also had the ability to make at least one play every game that would leave an entire crowd, at home or on the road, shaking their heads in total amazement. He was truly a special player. Hardaway, who followed the Tigers on their two NCAA Tournament runs in 2007 and 2008, gave back to Memphis in the summer of 2008, as his contributions will open the U of M’s Hardaway Athletic Hall of Fame.

Forest Arnold On January 14, 1995, the University of Memphis recognized former Tiger great Forest Arnold by retiring his jersey No. 13 in pregame ceremonies. Arnold, who played for the Tigers from 195256, was the first-ever All-American in school history. During his career, Arnold helped lead the Tigers to 62 wins, including the school’s first-ever NCAA appearance in 1955 against Penn State. Arnold is the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,854 career points and ranks as Memphis’ third career rebounding leader with 1,109. Arnold is one of just four players in Memphis basketball history to score more than 1,000 points and grab more than 1,000 rebounds. One of many highlights during his sterling career was a school-record (at the time) 46point game against Hardin-Simmons in the old Fieldhouse. Arnold currently resides in Springfield, Mo., with his wife, Virginia Lee. The couple has four children. Arnold is a minister and professor at Central Bible College in Springfield.

HISTORY
Prior to the arrival of Anfernee Hardaway, Keith Lee was considered the best to have ever donned the Blue and Gray. Lee, who gave the Tigers instant success, playing on Memphis teams from 1981-85. Lee was arguably the most successful Tiger. During his four years, Memphis compiled a 104-24 (.813) record, made four-straight NCAA appearances, including one Final Four, guided the Tigers to three Metro Conference tournament titles, led Memphis to a then school-record 31 wins in 1984-85 and helped put the Tigers in the final AP Top 20 poll all four seasons. The U of M was rated fifth in 1985. As for his individual accomplishments, Lee was an AP All-American four years in a row, a consensus first team All-American in 1985, the Metro Conference Player of the Year in 1982 and 1985, the Metro Conference Tournament MVP in 1982 and 1984, the Metro Conference Freshman of the Year in 1982 and was first team All-Metro all four years. Also during his career, Lee was chosen to All-America teams by UPI, Converse, The Sporting News, Basketball Weekly, USBWA, Basketball Times, ESPN and NABC. Lee is Memphis’ all-time leading scorer with 2,408 career points and the school’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,336 career boards. The 6-foot-11 center’s finest year was 198485 when he put the Tigers into the Final Four in Lexington, Ky. Lee led the Tigers to a 24-3 regular season record and a Metro Conference Tournament title. Following his senior season, Lee was taken in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls as the 11th overall pick.

Large crowds were the norm even back in the 1930s and 1940s when the Tigers took the court in Memorial Gym. Memphis played in the campus facility from 1929-51, before moving to what is now known as the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
