Sharaud Curry Becomes 5th Active Friar To Score 1,000 Points

Congratulations to Sharaud Curry, who became the 5th current Friar to score 1,000 career points, via ProJo Sports:

Junior guard Sharaud Curry became the 42nd player in Providence College history to score at least 1,000 career points when he made a pair of free throws with 7:36 remaining in the second half during the Friars' 77-62 victory over South Florida on Tuesday night.

"It’s a great accomplishment," Curry said. "Anytime you can reach a milestone like that at a school that has such a great tradition like Providence College it’s always great." Curry had his own personal cheering section as 10 friends and family members made the 500-mile trip from his hometown of Gainesville, Ga. "That made it even better," Curry said. "Them being here see it; I didn’t even know about it until after the game."

While scoring 1,000 points in a career is a remarkable feat, it’s almost become commonplace on this year’s Providence team. Curry joins teammates Randall Hanke (who joined the 1,000-point club Feb. 7 vs. West Virginia), Geoff McDermott (Jan. 17 vs. Marquette) and Weyinmi Efejuku (Nov. 18 vs. Dartmouth) as Friars that have reached the 1,000 point plateau this season. Jeff Xavier is also a member of the 1,000 point club, reaching the mark as a junior last season.

"We’ve got so many guys getting to 1,000, I can’t even keep track," joked coach Keno Davis. "It’s a nice milestone for [Curry] to not only get 1,000 points, but to be able to come back off an injury where he was out for over a year, and come back and play at the level he’s playing at.” Providence is now the only school in the nation with five active 1,000-point scorers, passing North Carolina (four) and Marquette (four).
