Chris Craig’s UTEP legacy was built on toughness, range, and winning plays
Chris Craig’s UTEP profile is that of a hard-nosed, high-motor guard who made real winning contributions in the 2003-04 season, when he hit a school-record 84 three-pointers and finished with 66 assists against just 32 turnovers in 32 games. He wasn’t just a shooter: UTEP’s 2004-05 preview also notes he ranked among the program’s all-time leaders in scoring, rebounds, blocks, and steals, which hints at a well-rounded, scrappy, two-way game. He also earned praise for his work rate, though his college career came with late-game discipline issues at times.
