Roberts originally attended Baylor University, but transferred to Mississippi State University in 2003 following the basketball scandal that rocked Baylor's program that year. He was a first-team All-American and the SEC player of the year in 2003-04, leading Mississippi State to its first top-ten national ranking and to its first top-two seeding in the NCAA tournament. In the 2003-04 season he averaged 16.9 points and 10.1 rebounds. He was first-team All-SEC and an honorable mention All-American in 2003-2004, finishing third to Jameer Nelson and Emeka Okafor for national player of the year honors. In the '04-'05 season he averaged 16.9 points and 11.0 rebounds.
Roberts is the nephew of ABC/ESPN broadcaster Robin Roberts. He also recorded the first triple-double in Mississippi State history against Nicholls State University with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists.
