PJ Haggerty, a player for the University of Memphis Tigers, has been named to the American Athletic Conference’s Honorable Mention list, as announced by the conference on Monday afternoon.
Haggerty once again led the Tigers in their 78-74 victory over East Carolina on Saturday, bringing their league record to 3-0. This marks his third honorable mention of the season and his sixth overall weekly accolade.
Hailing from Crosby, Texas, he scored 25 points, grabbed four rebounds, and made one steal in 35 minutes against the Pirates, which adds to his impressive tally of 11 games this season with 20 or more points.
The sophomore guard shot 7-of-16 from the field and was flawless from the free-throw line, hitting all 10 attempts, which contributes to his nation-leading totals.
Haggerty is only the second player in Division I this season to score at least 25 points while going perfect at the free-throw line with a minimum of 10 attempts. He is also the first Tiger to achieve this since Jeremiah Martin on February 23, 2019, against Wichita State, where Martin scored 37 points and went 14-for-14 from the line.
UP NEXT Memphis will be on the road for two games this week. They will face Temple on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN2 and then will travel to Charlotte next Sunday for a contest at 2 p.m. CT, which will air on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
