Austin Tillotson was Colgate’s all-around engine, and his playmaking still pops
In the 2015-16 season, Austin Tillotson was Colgate’s offensive heartbeat: he led the Raiders in points (454), assists (155), and steals (58), averaged 15.1 points and 5.2 assists per game, and set the program’s single-season assist record[1][4]. He also ranked among the Patriot League’s better guards and finished his Colgate career with 1,204 points, showing he could both run an offense and take over stretches with scoring punch[1][10][15]. The differentiator was his floor leadership and toughness—he started all 30 games, played heavy minutes, and delivered a buzzer-beater that became a signature moment for the program[1][9].
