Senior makes American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor Roll for fourth time
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – If the third time is the charm, perhaps the fourth time is the norm.
Â
For the fourth time this season – and the second time in as many weeks – University of Memphis senior forward Kyvon Davenport was recognized for his outstanding play. Davenport, a native of Gainesville, Ga., earned a spot on the American Athletic Conference's Weekly Honor Roll
Â
Davenport made the league's Honor Roll by helping lead the Tigers to victories over ECU at home and Tulane on the road. In the two games, Davenport went 12-of-22 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds.
Â
In a 78-72 win Thursday over ECU, Davenport had 14 points and 11 rebounds – his sixth double-double of the year. In Sunday's 83-79 victory at Tulane, Davenport was 7-of-12 from the field and scored 17 points. Davenport was particularly effective early in the second half at Tulane. He scored eight of the team's first 10 points after halftime -- on two conventional three-point plays and a left-handed layup -- to help the Tigers go up by 15, 59-44.
Â
Through 17 games, he has scored in double figures 14 times. He also has recorded four games of 20 or more points.
 Â
Memphis (11-6, 3-1 AAC) plays SMU at 3 p.m. Saturday at FedExForum.
