The native Memphian led the Tigers to four straight postseason tournaments and 76 wins over his career. Perry, who started every game of his four-year career, paced the team in scoring, assists and steals three consecutive seasons.

With 2,209 career points, Perry is one of only two Tigers in school history to surpass 2,000 points

The former McDonald All-American led the Tigers to a 20-12 record and an NCAA bid as a freshman. He was named the Metro Conference Freshman of the Year and Sport Magazine's freshman point guard of the year.

Perry led the Metro Conference in scoring as a senior with a 20.8 average and in steals with 85 and was again named to the All-Conference team. He became Memphis' and the Metro Conference's career leader in steals with 300 and became just the tenth player in NCAA history to amass 300 steals.

His jersey number 34 is retired. Following graduation, Perry spent nine years in the NBA.
