The 2003-04 season was memorable in a lot of ways: A top 25 ranking, massive winning streak and tons of national attention are a few that come to mind. And while it was an awesome team effort from top to bottom that season, when that team needed big buckets, Cardell Butler was the guy!
While his first season at Utah State had its fair share of ups and downs, he still put up solid numbers on the year with averages of 8.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He hit on 43 percent of his shots from the field and 83.7 percent from the free throw line, despite leaving a little to be desired with a 30.3 percent mark from 3-point land. That aspect of things improved though as his junior year progressed, as did his contributions as a rebounder.
