MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis men's basketball program will retire Lorenzen Wright's jersey (No. 55) at halftime of the team's game against Tulane on Saturday, Feb. 4 at FedExForum.
Tickets for the 1 p.m. tip-off can be purchased at GoTigersGo.com.
A 2009 M Club Hall of Fame inductee, the Memphis native capped his career as one of the most decorated players in program history, earning numerous All-America honors as a sophomore and Freshman All-America honors in his inaugural campaign.
A 1995 All-Great Midwest first team and 1996 All-Conference USA first team selection, Wright is the only player in program's history to earn first team accolades from two different leagues. A two-year letter winner, Wright netted over 1,000 points and currently ranks No. 49 on the Tigers' career scoring list with 1,026 points.
Wright will join an illustrious group of former Tigers to have their jersey hanging in the rafters: Win Wilfong (22), John Gunn (44), Larry Finch (21), Ronnie Robinson (33), Keith Lee (24), Elliot Perry (34), Anfernee Hardaway (25), Forest Arnold (13) and Larry Kenon (35).
