Tucker was one of the most accomplished players in Milwaukee men's basketball history despite playing only three seasons (2003-06) for the Panthers after transferring from Bradley University. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward led Milwaukee to three postseason appearances in his three years and during the 2005 NCAA Tournament, he averaged a whopping 25.3 points per game in helping the Panthers reach the Sweet 16.

A starter in all 94 of his career games as a Panther, Tucker ranks eighth on the school's career scoring chart with 1,416 points and averaged 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He was a two-time First Team All-Horizon League pick and in the 2005 NCAA Regional semifinal game versus eventual national runner-up Illinois tallied a career-best 32 points. Tucker, who was named Most Valuable Player of the 2005 Horizon League Championship, helped the Panthers to a 68-26 (.723) record during his illustrious three-year career.
