Kelly Wise was a four-year letterwinner for the Memphis Tigers. After being named Third Team All-Conference USA in 2000, Wise earned back-to-back First Team All-Conference honors as a junior and senior. He was selected to the C-USA All-Tournament team in 2001 and was named NABC All-District in 2002. Wise finished his career as the all-time leading rebounder in C-USA history with 1,075 boards. That total was later broken by former Tiger Joey Dorsey in 2008 and currently stands as the second-most in conference history. He also ranks second all-time in the C-USA record book with 42 career double-doubles. He currently stands 12^th on Memphis' all-time scoring list with 1,487 points and is top-10 in five other categories: total rebounds (1,075 – 4^th), double-doubles (42 – 4^th), blocked shots (226 – 6^th), free throw attempts (561 – 7^th) and field goals made (591 – 10^th). For his career, Wise started 94 of his 124 games played and averaged 12.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
