Patrick King is one of the more inspiring student-athletes to be enshrined in the Hall. A walk-on to the Bison men's basketball squad, King made his way through the junior varsity ranks, eventually earned a starting forward position and as a senior was named Patriot League Player of the Year after averaging 20.3 points per game. An Academic All-America selection in 1992, King became the school and Patriot League-record holder for field-goal percentage in a season (.670 in 1990-91) and career (.638), and despite the fact that he played only a little over two full seasons with the varsity, he reached the 1,000-point milestone and averaged 14.2 points per game in his career. King led the Bison to the Patriot League championship game as a senior captain in 1991-92, when he became only the fifth player in school history to average better than 20 points per game. He also set school records for free throws made in a season (205) and ranked among the all-time leaders with a career .814 free-throw percentage. King went on to play professionally in his native Germany and later became a successful player agent.
