2003-04 (Senior): Mory Correa has added over 10 pounds to his frame from a year ago, and is expected to challenge for a starting forward spot in his senior season. He is a very athletic big man, whose long arms and leaping ability make him an outstanding defender. Correa led UW in field-goal percentage a year ago, shooting 65.6 percent from the field. He ranked second on the team last season in blocked shots, with 21, and also ranked second on the team in dunks, with 15. His ability to run the court should fit nicely into the Cowboys' plans to return to an up-tempo style for the 2003-04 season. One area he is going to be counted on to improve is rebounding. He averaged only 2.9 rebounds per game a year ago, but had some of his best rebounding performances against the more athletic opponents. He grabbed six rebounds against Detroit, had six at Colorado State, six versus San Diego State, seven against UNLV and seven at North Carolina.

2002-03 (Junior): In Mory Correa's first season at Wyoming, he showed flashes of how good of a player he can be. The native of France, had two of the best games of his junior season late in the Mountain West Conference race against San Diego State and UNLV on March 1 and 3, 2003. In those two games, Correa was extremely productive. He averaged 7.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocked shots in 24.5 minutes per game against the Aztecs and Rebels. Versus San Diego State, he scored eight points and pulled down six rebounds, while shooting 60.0 percent (three of five) from the floor and was a perfect two of two from the free-throw line. Two nights later in a 69-66 home win over UNLV, Correa scored six points, grabbed seven rebounds, handed out a career high four assists and blocked three Rebel shots in 27 minutes of play. For the season, he played in 28 of 32 games for Wyoming, and averaged 3.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 blocked shots per game. Correa ranked No. 11 in the Mountain West Conference in blocked shots. Mory Correa came to Wyoming in the summer of 2002 after originally signing with Oklahoma State University. Oklahoma State offered too many scholarships, and so Correa became available. Street & Smith's College Basketball Preview for 2002-03 listed Correa among the "Top Jucos Moving On" that could make an impact at the NCAA Division I level.

2001-02 (Sophomore at Pratt Community College): As a sophomore at Pratt Community College in Kansas, Correa led his team in scoring (14.9 points per game) and rebounding (8.0 rebounds per game).

He also averaged 1.8 blocked shots, 0.9 steals and 0.9 assists per game. He accomplished all that while playing in the Jayhawk JUCO Conference, considered one of the best, if not the best, junior-college conference in the nation. Correa also was selected First Team All-Jayhawk Conference as a sophomore. Pratt posted a 13-13 mark his sophomore year. He played for Earl Diddle at Pratt Community College.

2000-01 (Freshman at Pratt Community College): Correa averaged 14.6 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. He shot 52.6 percent from the floor and 72.2 percent from the charity stripe. His freshman season, Correa earned Third Team Jayhawk JUCO Conference honors.
