TTT Answer

It’s been 19 years since a Tiger basketball player has led Memphis in both scoring and assists. Penny Hardaway averaged 22.8 points and 6.4 assists in 1992-93, on his way to first-team All-America status.
Two Tigers actually led the team in scoring and assists . . . three straight seasons. Who were they?

Larry Finch
1970-71: 18.4 points and 2.5 assists
1971-72: 23.9 and 4.2
1972-73: 24.0 and 3.9

Elliot Perry
1988-89: 19.4 and 3.7
1989-90: 16.8 and 5.0
1990-91: 20.8 and 4.6
