SENIOR DAY

|
Five seniors will be honored in pregame ceremonies:
Rodney Crawford: Withrow High School graduate who joined UC as a walkon after attending Bakersfield College. Has appeared in 43 games in two years, totaling 30 points and 59 rebounds. Tough. Takes charges. Rebounds.
Jamaal Davis: Came from Barton County (Kan.) Community College and has been two-year starter at power forward, averaging 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds. Good mind for the game. Has been more aggressive this season.
Steve Logan: Fourth-year senior has played in more victories than anyone in school history (106). Has scored in double figures 50 consecutive games. Has averaged 14.4 points and 3.3 assists in 129 career games.
Immanuel McElroy: Junior college transfer has started 53 of 64 games in his two-year career and averaged 7.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Unselfish. Team's best defender. Married with two children.
Corey Brinn: Sycamore High School graduate and fifth-year student manager. Mother and father are UC graduates.

Steve Logan said he doesn't know if he will cry.
His mother, grandmother, sister, girlfriend, son and some cousins are expected to be in the stands today when UC plays Memphis in Logan's final home game.
He will get a big hug from UC coach Bob Huggins. He will get a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 13,176.
It will be real emotional for me, Logan said. I learned a lot of things from this city, just from Coach Huggins, growing up as a person. It will be very intense. The first two (years) were rocky for me, but the second two went pretty quick. It's been all worth it.
The 6-foot senior needs 20 points to become UC's No.2 all-time scorer. He already is No.2 in assists and No.3 in 3-point field goals.
He's been a special guy, much like Kenyon (Martin), Huggins said.
Logan will be honored along with fellow seniors Immanuel McElroy, Jamaal Davis, Rodney Crawford and student manager Corey Brinn.
