[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Roberts has made four appearances on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays during his two-year Bradley career. Although his first appearance was in recognition of his 75-foot game-winner versus Oakland in the quarterfinals of the inaugural CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament March 23, 2009, his other three appearances highlighted his dunking talent. Most recently, Roberts earned the No. 2 play on the March 5, 2010 SportsCenter for his follow slam versus Creighton in the State Farm MVC Tournament quarterfinals, a play that gave the Braves the lead for good with 16:11 remaining and ignited Bradley's 81-62 victory versus the Bluejays.[/FONT]
