College
Freshman year
As a true freshman at Texas Tech, Petteway saw action in 28 games and 10 of his 11 starts during the season came during Big 12 Conference play.[3] Texas Tech finished their 2011–12 season with just eight total wins and a single conference win, which was the deciding factor in Petteway electing to transfer to a different institution.[4]
Transfer to Nebraska
Petteway opted to sign with Tim Miles and the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball program citing the previous relationship he had developed with Coach Miles during high school when Miles recruited him at Colorado State.[5]
Sophomore year
After sitting out during the 2012–13 season, Petteway was named co-captain for the Cornhuskers.[3] Petteway led the league in scoring, averaging 18.1 points per game, becoming the first Nebraska basketball player to lead the league in scoring since Andre Smith led the Big Eight Conference during the 1980–81 season.[3] He also helped guide the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball team to its first NCAA Men's Division I Basketball tournament appearance since 1998.[6]
Junior year
Prior to the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, Petteway was named Preseason All-American first team selection by Bleacher Report.[7] He was a second team selection by CBSSports.com[8] and a third team selection by SB Nation,[6] and USA Today.[9] He was also listed as a John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 candidate.[10]
