It is no secret that Memphis guard Jeremiah Martin has been otherworldly in his last six games, but how well does he truly stack up against the rest of the American Athletic Conference? At this point it is fair to say that he is the most dominant offensive player in the conference, so GoTigers247 took a deep dive on the stats from the best players in the AAC to see where Martin is.

We're going strictly off of conference play to get rid of games against extremely lesser opponents and because conference games are much more important overall.

So, what we did was took the top five scorers in the AAC and compared their statistics from all of their conference games this season. Instead of having to bounce back and forth to see where Martin ranks, his stats match up as follows: PPG (2nd), FG% (1st), 3pt. FG% (3rd), RBG (3rd), APG (1st), MPG (4th) and TO's (tied for 3rd).

As you can see, the Tigers senior guard has been dominant to say the least in conference play. His stats are arguably the best in the conference, but over the last six games he has been even more off the charts.

In those games, Martin is averaging 29.6 points per game and he is shooting 53.3 percent from the floor and 48.6 percent from three-point range. So, what has been the difference over those last six games?

Martin has been the primary ball-handler. Earlier in the season head coach Penny Hardaway was allowing freshmen guards Alex Lomax and Tyler Harris to run the floor, but he turned the reins over to Martin and he began to flourish.

The senior guard has been on a tear ever since then. On the court, he has been playing with a completely different confidence and it has shown in the statistics.

At this point, it is looking like a battle between Martin and Cincinnati guard Jarron Cumberland for AAC Conference Player of the Year. If Martin is able to continue the last four games even close to this pace, then it will be nearly impossible to deny him the award.

On Wednesday night against Tulane, Martin became the first player in Tigers history to have multiple 40-plus point games in a career. The senior guard had 41 against USF earlier in the season and a career-high 43 points against the Green Wave. The 43 points were the most scored in a game by a player in the American Athletic Conference since it was formed in 2013.
