When looking back at Porter's collegiate career, it's tempting to remember how it ended: with an upset loss to Florida Gulf Coast (aka Dunk City) in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The 6-foot-8 forward had a good two-year run with the Hoyas. For the majority of his freshman season, the Missouri native came off the bench. Even in limited minutes, Porter was productive and averaged 9.7 points and 6.8 rebounds. He started the last six games of the season, including two games in the Big East Tournament and two games in the NCAA Tournament. He had 16 points and eight rebounds in the win over Belmont in the first round of the Big Dance. Porter started every game except the opener as a sophomore. He led the team with 16.2 points and 7.5 rebounds. He added 2.7 assists and 0.9 blocks and hit 42.2 percent of his three-pointers. Porter had seven double-doubles, including 13 points and 11 rebounds in the aforementioned loss to FGCU. After the season, Porter announced that he would forgo his final two seasons of eligibility and head to the NBA.
