Tim Reiser began his Rocket basketball career in grand fashion.  He was named the Mid-American Conference "Freshman of the Year" in 1980 and was ranked 15th in the country in assists with 6.32 apg.  Reiser, who did not become a starter until the 15th game of his freshman year, ended that impressive rookie campaign with over 1,000 minutes played (third all-time in UT history to that point).  Not slowing down, Reiser went on to become one of the most prolific passers and shooters in Rocket history.  He helped lead the Rockets to a 71-43 record over his four years, including 53-12 at home.  He led the Rockets in assists all four seasons and still holds the UT records for career assists (762), and career minutes played (3,941).  In addition, Reiser holds the UT single game record for assists (14) and was the 21st player in UT history to join the 1,000-point club, finishing his career with 1,216 points.  In his final season, Reiser was remembered most for hitting the game-winning shot in a home, double-overtime victory over Eastern Michigan from half-court with one second left in the game.
