UTC’s Greg Pryor plays in the game against VMI Wedneday, January 25, 2017 in UTC’s McKenzie Arena.

Pryor’s accomplishments

123 career starts (most in UTC history) 1,193 points (eighth all-time) 337 assists (sixth) 168 steals (third) 2016 SoCon Tournament MVP 2014-15 All-SoCon third team

Greg Pryor’s basketball career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga easily could be summed up in a three-day stretch in Asheville, N.C., last March.

The 6-foot-2 point guard played through hip and ankle injuries in being voted most outstanding player in the Southern Conference tournament. It wasn’t an award on stats – it was based on consistency, heart and effort.

But he has plenty of stats.

The player with more starts than anybody in UTC history (123 according to the school’s website) soon will leave as one of the most productive players in school history, ranking in the top 10 in scoring, assists and steals in the Mocs’ Division I history.
