One of the top point guards in Bucknell basketball annals, Mike Joseph was a three-year starter for the Bison and a member of two East Coast Conference championship squads that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. He was a two-time First Team All-ECC selection and the nation's second-leading free-throw shooter in 1989-90 when he set a school record with a .929 (144-155) mark. Joseph set nine Bucknell records, including marks for career assists and free throws, career 3-point field goal percentage and career free-throw percentage. His .884 career free-throw mark ranks 12th in NCAA history. Joseph, a native of Hazleton, Pa., finished his career ranked fourth on Bucknell's all-time scoring list with 1,518 points, and became the first Bison to post back-to-back 30-point games. One of the finest pure shooters in school history, Joseph was a 1990 Christy Mathewson Award winner as the top senior athlete.
