- Chris Douglas-Roberts
Consensus first-team All-America in 2007-08, when he led Tigers with 18.1 points per game. (First Tiger to receive such honor since Penny Hardaway in 1992-93.) Also led Tigers in scoring as sophomore in 2006-07, with 15.4 ppg. Herky-jerky style as a slasher; quick release allowed him to convert off-balance shots. Known as CDR from his first game as a freshman, now ranks ninth on Tiger alltime scoring chart (1,545 points in three years). First-team all-conference selection as sophomore and junior; 2008 C-USA Player of the Year. Member of three C-USA champs (both regular-season and tournament); MVP of 2007 tourney. A 72-percent free-throw shooter for his career, missed three late foul shots in 2008 NCAA championship game, allowing Kansas to tie and eventually win game in overtime. Second-round selection of New Jersey Nets in 2008 NBA draft.

Frank you just can't help but crap on things. Was it taught in journalism school? Finish with a downer? "now remember class, if you don't slam someone, you will look biased." CDR, spin move to the basket, draws foul, makes the free throw, beats UAB at last second. rectified.

YeaH, I agree.. What kind of bull $#*+ move was that. How can you end his list of accolades with the worst moment in his college career. Only in Memphis!!
