Andre Devalle Turner (born March 13, 1964) is an American former professional basketball player who played in the NBA.

1985 NCAA Tournament

The shining moment of Andre Turner's career was in his senior season, when he, along with teammates Keith Lee, Baskerville Holmes, and William Bedford made it to the Final Four, on the strength of three consecutive game winning shots by Turner.

The first was in an overtime win against UAB. Ironically, Gene Bartow was UAB's head coach, the last coach to lead Memphis State to the Final Four, eventually losing in the 1973 championship game against UCLA.

The second game winner came against Boston College, and the third, coming against the University of Oklahoma, propelled the Tigers back to the Final Four, only to lose to eventual champ Villanova, one of three Big East teams in the Final Four that year.-->
