Tennessee’s veteran post presence brought toughness and efficiency in 2005-06
In the 2005-06 season, Major Wingate was a sturdy 6-foot-10 anchor for Tennessee, averaging 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting a team-best 55.6% as a junior.[2][5][10] His differentiators were rim protection, efficient finishing, and the kind of low-drama, high-effort interior play that coaches love because it travels in big games; he also delivered 15.0 points and 6.5 rebounds across Tennessee’s two NCAA Tournament games.[2][5] If you want a reliable, physical center who can score inside and set a tone, Wingate fit the bill.[2][5]
