With Jake McDowell growing up in a University of Memphis family, it was a slam dunk that he'd attend the hometown school, whether he played basketball or not.
All he knew from birth was Memphis. His father, Hank, was a Tigers radio analyst when Jake was a kid, so Jake was around the program. Jake's favorite player?
"As a kid, Kelly Wise was my favorite," said Jake. "I just liked the way he played."
So ingrained was Jake in cheering on the Tigers that he did something almost unthinkable as a kid.
"I went to Duke's basketball summer camp, and near the end of the week, Coach Krzyzewski took pictures with each camper," Jake said.
Like Father, Like Son
