COLLEGE

Kenyon McNeail played four seasons for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs from 2010–11 to 2013–14, appearing in 136 career games with 56 starts and finishing with 1,147 points, 293 rebounds, 223 assists, and 224 made three-pointers while shooting 37.9 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from three-point range across his career.

As a freshman at Louisiana Tech in 2010/11, McNeail played in 32 games and had 30 starting assignments.

He averaged 8.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 29.4 minutes per game, while shooting 35.5 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from three-point range, the second best ever by a Tech freshman.

That 2010–11 season included 11 double-digit scoring games, three 20-point games, and a 27-point outing at North Dakota on February 16 where he went 7-for-9 from three-point range, which Louisiana Tech noted as the second-most threes ever made by a Bulldog at the time, while also producing an eight-assist game against Navy and multiple 20+ point efforts late in the year.

As a sophomore in 2011–12, McNeail played all 34 games with 25 starts and averaged 6.8 points, 2.2 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes per game, highlighted by a 19-point performance against Utah State on January 14 that included 5-for-6 shooting from three, which Louisiana Tech credited as tied for the fourth-best single-game three-point mark in program history.

In 2012–13, McNeail played 33 games with one start and averaged 7.0 points per game while ranking 10th in the WAC in three-point percentage (35.7 percent), then delivered his signature college performance at UTSA on January 12, scoring a career-high 34 points on 11-of-19 shooting and a career-best 9-of-15 from three, including the game-winning three with 19 seconds left, earning WAC Player of the Week after setting Louisiana Tech single-game records for three-point attempts (15) and matching the program record for made threes (nine).

As a senior in 2013–14, McNeail came off the bench in all 37 games and averaged 11.0 points per game on 42.1 percent shooting and 40.4 percent from three, earning Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year honours while producing 22 double-digit scoring games and leading the team in scoring six times.

That season, he “broke practically every three-point record” in program history, setting Louisiana Tech single-season records for three-pointers made (88) and attempted (218) and finishing his career as the school’s all-time leader in three-pointers made (224) and attempted (613), with Louisiana Tech also noting he became the career record holder for made threes during the 2014 postseason.

McNeail’s key senior-year scoring spikes included 21 points with five threes against Longwood on January 4, a season-high 22 points against Marshall on January 25, and multiple five-three games later in the year, and Louisiana Tech also credited him with scoring in double figures in all three of the team’s National Invitation Tournament games as the Bulldogs advanced to the quarterfinals.

McNeail’s final season also aligned with Louisiana Tech’s breakthrough 29–8 campaign in 2013–14, where the Bulldogs finished 13–3 in league play as C-USA regular season co-champions, reached the C-USA tournament championship game, and then won NIT games over Iona and Georgia before falling in the quarterfinals.
