College
Roberts was used sparingly in his first season before becoming a regular contributor as a sophomore. Roberts aided Syracuse to a 27-7 record, the Big East Conference Tournament championship and the 2005 NCAA Tournament first round, finishing fourth on the team in scoring, with 7.2 points per game. After Billy Edelin left Syracuse for personal reasons, Roberts started the final seven games, averaging 8.4 ppg. and 5.7 rpg. in that span.
Following the graduation of forward Hakim Warrick, Roberts would start all 35 games of his junior year, averaging a career high of 10.7 points per game. The highlight of his season came against Rutgers University on February 1, 2006. Down by one with under 7.6 seconds left in overtime, Roberts, who had hit only three 3-pointers in his first two seasons at Syracuse, drained a buzzer-beating shot to give Syracuse a 86-84 win.
Roberts was named to the pre-season All Big East team in his senior season, but he failed to live up to expectations. Roberts limped through most of the season following a knee injury in the early part of the season against Drexel. He would miss several games that season, finishing with disappointing numbers of 8.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“Placing too much importance on where a child goes rather than what he does there . . . doesn’t take into account the child’s needs or individuality, and this is true in college selection as well as kindergarten.”
—Norman Giddan (20th century)
“I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The only trouble here is they won’t let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health?”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
