  • The redshirt sophomore averaged 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, earning AAC Player of the Year and second-team All-American honors.
  • Haggerty's departure leaves Memphis coach Penny Hardaway needing to replace his entire starting lineup following a 29-6 season and conference titles.
