PRINCETON, New Jersey- Former Texas Southern University guard Kevin Granger has been named a 2013-14 Progressive Legends Classic Honoree. During his playing days at TSU Granger established himself as one of the most prolific scorers in the history of Texas Southern men's basketball as he led the Tigers to several upset wins over top 25 opponents as well as Southwestern Athletic Conference Titles during the 1994 and 1995 seasons. Both of those seasons the Tigers also qualified to participate in the NCAA Tournament, nearly pulling off an upset versus heavily favored Arkansas in 1995 as TSU lost by one point 79-78 to the NCAA powerhouse program. In 1996, Granger led all Division I schools in scoring with an average of 27 points per game. "It means a great deal for me to be considered a Legend of the game of college basketball at Texas Southern," said Granger. "A recognition like this is the reward of a lot of hard work put in over the years. Through the efforts of myself, coaches and teammates I was able to accomplish some amazing things while playing the game of basketball. I would like to thank my parents for supporting my dreams, my brothers for getting me started in the game of basketball, and my wife and kids for their continued support. I also have to thank Coach Moreland for realizing the talents in me and allowing me to play to my full ability." On Monday, January 27th Texas Southern University will recognize Granger at halftime of the Texas Southern versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff men's basketball game which is set to be broadcast live on ESPNU.
