Â
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis senior forward Kyvon Davenport earned American Athletic Conference recognition Monday following his 31-point, 11-rebound performance Saturday against third-ranked Tennessee.
Â
Davenport came off the bench to score a career-high 31 points and match a career-high with 11 rebounds in the 102-92 loss to the Volunteers at FedExForum to earn a spot on the league's Weekly Honor Roll.
Â
Davenport scored 26 points in the second half, including 18 straight during one stretch to keep the Tigers (5-5) in contention.
For Davenport, it was his second Weekly Honor Roll award of the season. He scored 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Tigers' 76-61 season-opening victory Nov. 6 against Tennessee Tech at FedExForum to earn his first honor roll mention.
Â
Davenport, from Gainesville, Ga., has provided a huge spark recently. He has scored 52 points off the bench in the UofM's past two games.
Â
In the game against Tennessee – which attracted 18,528 – Davenport made a career-high 12 field goals, including a career-best four 3-pointers. He attempted 17 shots, which tied his career high.
Â
The double-double was the third of the season for Davenport and the 11th of his career.
Â
Memphis returns to action Wednesday night playing host to Little Rock at FedExForum. The Tigers remain at home to play Tennessee State Saturday.
