Inside Athletics

The following was printed on Tyrone Richardson's HOF plaque:

Tyrone Richardson began his collegiate career before there was a Fieldhouse at Siena Heights College, and he played before the days of the three-point line.  Richardson played for the Saints from 1976-80, and his first season in ‘76 was only the second year in the tradition-rich history of men’s basketball at Siena Heights. During his four-year career, Richardson led the Saints to their first two 20-win seasons under SHU Hall of Fame coach Ben Braun.  At the conclusion of his collegiate career, Richardson had scored 1,430 points and was the all-time leading scorer in the program’s young history.  27 years later—and at the time of his induction into the Siena Heights University Athletic Hall of Fame—he still ranks #9 all-time in scoring for the Saints.
