Late in the 2016 Sun Belt Championship quarterfinals, senior guard Drew Charles sank his sixth 3-pointer of the game to seal the win over Texas State.
When the ball swished through the net, Charles flexed his muscles, nodded his head and let out a yell as UTA fans at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans erupted.
But off the court, he’s a country guy.
“You, kind of, have to be bipolar,” Charles said. “You’re a different person on the court and a different person off the court.”
For the first few years of his life, Charles lived in Lexington, Ky.
