The Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball program is the men's college basketball team of Le Moyne College. The Dolphins compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a member of the Northeast Conference and are currently coached by Nate Champion. The Dolphins have played their home games on Ted Grant Court at the Le Moyne Events Center in DeWitt, New York since 1962. The Dolphins are currently transitioning to Division I and are ineligible to participate in the NCAA tournament until the 2027–28 season.

History

Birth of a program (1948–1958)

The Dolphins' first varsity basketball game was a home game at the State Fair Coliseum against Siena on December 7, 1948, a 41–39 loss for Le Moyne. [5] [6] The opening game against Siena had been treated by Le Moyne's student body as not simply the debut of the Dolphins as a basketball team but as the first game of what was expected to become a heated rivalry. In anticipation of the game, "BEAT SIENA!" was emblazoned across the front page of the school newspaper. [7] A pep rally was held the night before the Siena game and attended by the team, the head coach, the athletics moderator, Rev. Vincent B. Ryan, S.J., and, of course, the cheerleaders. [8]

Le Moyne's first head coach and athletic director was Tommy Niland, [9] who mentored the varsity basketball team for 25 years, until 1973. Niland remained at Le Moyne after his coaching career ended, continuing in his role as the athletic director until his retirement in 1990. Le Moyne's athletics center is named in his honor.

Le Moyne's first victory came on the road at the Geneva Armory against Hobart on December 10, 1948. Dave Lozo scored 13 points, and team captain Don Savage added 11, as Le Moyne cruised to a 50–37 victory. [10] [11]

During the first three years of its varsity basketball program, Le Moyne was led on the court by Don Savage. [12] [13] [14] Savage had appeared in Le Moyne College's first ever intercollegiate contest on December 4, 1947, a 62–57 overtime victory for the freshman basketball team at Utica. [15] More than 400 Le Moyne students made the trip to see the game. [16] Savage had eight points in that game, while Dave Lozo had a game-high 18 for the Dolphin Cubs. [17] Joe Boehm served as captain of that freshman team, [18] which went 16–4 and was coached by Tommy Niland [9] in an effort to build the basketball program from the ground up. Niland pulled double duty, serving as coach of both the varsity and freshman teams through the end of the 1949–50 season. [19]

The challenge faced by Le Moyne during its inaugural varsity season was unique. The Dolphins were not simply a first-year basketball team; Le Moyne College was a second-year institution. Therefore, the Dolphins were composed entirely of sophomores and faced teams with experienced juniors and seniors in every game.

In June 1950, Le Moyne became a charter member of the Eastern Catholic Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (ECIAC). [20] [21] After only one season, the ECIAC ceased publicizing itself as a conference and became an association of its member schools with no basketball champion crowned, leaving Le Moyne an independent again for 1951–52. [22]

In June 1955, Le Moyne became a charter member of the new Middle Eastern College Athletic Association (MECAA). [23] [24]

The Dolphins produced seven winning campaigns and only two losing records in the first 10 seasons of their varsity program. They made their first postseason appearance in only their second season with no seniors on the roster at the 1950 Utica Optimist Club Invitational Tournament and took the title. [25] [26] Le Moyne followed up by repeating as champions in Utica in 1951 [27] [28] [29] and 1952. [30] [31]

The Dolphins participated in the prestigious National Catholic Invitational Tournament (NCIT) in both 1951 and 1952. At the 1951 tournament, Le Moyne defeated archrival Siena, ranked no. 18 in the AP major program poll, on the Indians' home floor, the Dolphins' first victory over a ranked major program. [32] [33] Le Moyne finished third in the 1951 tournament [34] and reached the quarterfinals in 1952. [35]

The Dolphins had 25 wins over University Division/major programs during their first decade, three of which came against opponents ranked in the AP major program poll. Their record against such foes was 25–49, including 3–4 versus ranked teams.

Don Savage was drafted by the Syracuse Nationals in 1951, and, as of 2024, he is the only former Dolphin to play in the NBA. Savage was selected as the most valuable player of the 1950 and 1951 Utica Optimist Club tournaments and named to the 1951 NCIT all-tournament team. He ended his collegiate career as Le Moyne's all-time leading scorer with 1,341 points in three varsity seasons. Dick Kenyon, who played varsity basketball for four years, surpassed Savage's career total in 1956, finishing with 1,378 points.

Glory era (1958–1969)

First two NCAA tournament berths (1958–1960)

The 1958–59 season marked the start of a golden era for Le Moyne Dolphins basketball. They appeared in seven of the 11 NCAA College Division tournaments between 1959 and 1969, reaching the Sweet 16 in 1959 and 1964.

The Dolphins were co-champions of the MECAA and made their first NCAA tournament appearance in 1959, ranked no. 20 nationally in the small college coaches poll. [36] The Dolphins reached the Sweet 16, where they lost at Saint Michael's [37] to finish the season 18–6. Junior Dick Lynch was unanimously named to the NCAA tournament All-Regional team and was also named to the All-MECAA first team for the second straight year. Senior Bob Hollembaek made the All-MECAA second team, and sophomore Chuck Sammons earned honorable mention. Dolphins head coach Tommy Niland was unanimously selected as 1959 MECAA coach of the year. [38] [39] Lynch also earned honorable mention on the Catholic All-America team. [40]

The Dolphins won the MECAA championship outright and made their second straight NCAA tournament appearance in 1960. They lost the regional semifinal game to Saint Anselm and the regional third-place game to Assumption to finish 13–5. Le Moyne's head coach, Tommy Niland, was unanimously chosen as 1960 MECAA coach of the year. Niland was also named Catholic small college coach of the year. Dick Lynch was named a MECAA All-Star, a first-team Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) small college All-Star and a second-team Catholic small college All-Star. John Caveny and Bill Stanley were both named All-MECAA second team. [41] [42] [43] The 1959–60 Dolphins were inducted into the Le Moyne College Athletic Hall of Fame as a team in 2011. [44]

MECAA tournament title and an on-campus home (1960–1963)

The MECA organized an in-season tournament in December 1960, hosted by Saint Peter's. The Dolphins defeated the host Peacocks, [45] [46] Iona [47] [48] and Long Island [49] to win the tournament title. Bill Stanley had 18 points and 17 rebounds in the final and was named the tournament most valuable player. [50]

The Dolphins had their 22-game home winning streak snapped by Saint Anselm, losing, 83–68, on January 6, 1961. The Dolphins' previous home loss had been a 65–50 drubbing at the hands of St. Bonaventure on February 5, 1958. [51] [52] [53] In early January, Le Moyne was ranked no. 13 in the country among all Catholic schools. This ranking included both University Division and College Division institutions. [54] However, the Dolphins fell out of the rankings after the loss to Saint Anselm.

Bill Stanley grabbed 22 rebounds to break his own program record and scored a game-high 24 points in the Dolphins 73–69 loss at Buffalo State on February 2, 1961. [55]

The losses of Bill Stanley, the team's leading scorer and rebounder at the time of his injury, and Chris Pitman, a key rotation player off the bench, was too much for the Dolphin to overcome down the stretch, [56] and they lost four of their final six games, finishing 16–7 in collegiate contests. Stanley was unanimously named a 1961 MECAA All-Star. John Caveny and Tom Burns were named second-team MECAA All-Stars. [57]

The Dolphins were 13–9 overall and 4–1 in MECAA play in 1961–62, winning their third conference championship. Bill Stanley was the 1962 MECAA most valuable player and Tommy Niland was the conference's coach of the year. It was the first time a Le Moyne player had earned a conference MVP award and the third MECAA coach of the year honor for Niland. It was Stanley's second straight MECAA All-Star selection. John Caveny was named to the MECAA All-Star second team. [58]

The Dolphins' first game in their new Le Moyne Athletic Center was a 43–41 victory over archrival Siena on December 1, 1962. [59] [60]

The Dolphins suffered through a mid-season slump and finished the 1962–63 season with a 12–10 record in collegiate contests. Mickey Flynn was named All-MECAA first team. [61]

Three straight NCAA tournament bids (1963–1966)

The Dolphins returned to the NCAA tournament in 1964, for the first time in four years. They entered the tournament as MECAA champions with a 4–1 league record and 17–5 overall and winners of five straight and 14 of their previous 15 games. The Dolphins had two victories over University Division opponents. [62] [63] [64] [65] [66] Le Moyne met Youngstown State, ranked no. 6 nationally in the Associated Press College Division poll at the time, [67] : 8  in the regional semifinals. Le Moyne's stifling defense, fierce rebounding and hot shooting by Gary DeYulia led to a six-point burst in just a minute and a half that put them ahead, 54–44, with 4:08 to play, and the Dolphins were not challenged the rest of the way. DeYulia shot 10 for 15 and had a game-high 20 points. As a team, the Dolphins shot 57% from the floor, while their zone defense limited the Penguins to 39% shooting. [68] : 26  [69] [70] [71]

The Dolphins met Akron, the region's host in the Mideast Regional Final Sweet 16 game. The Zips scored early and often. Meanwhile, it took six and a half minutes for the Dolphins to put their first points on the board. Akron dominated the game wire to wire, winning by a score of 62–38. Akron's defense frustrated Le Moyne's top scorer Gary DeYulia, who finished with six points on 2-for-15 shooting. Le Moyne's Tom Cooney was named to the All-Regional team. Cooney had 24 points in the two tournament games. [68] : 26  [70] [72] [73]

Tommy Niland was named 1964 MECAA coach of the year, the fourth time he was so honored. [74] Gary DeYulia was named All-MECAA first team, and Tom Cooney was selected for the second team. [75] DeYulia was also named an ECAC All-Star. [76]

In April 1964, Le Moyne College announced that it would sponsor and participate in a four-team Christmas invitational basketball tournament to take place on December 29 and 30. [77] [78] The Dolphins won the tournament, and Gary DeYulia was named most valuable player. [79] [80]

Gerry Glose came off the bench to score 18 points on 7-for-11 shooting to lead the Dolphins to a 61–51 victory at Clarkson on February 24, 1965. Gary DeYulia, slowed by a calf injury, had 18 points for Le Moyne, who won their 15th straight game and improved to 17–2 on the season. [81]

The Dolphins accepted a bid to host the Northeast Regionals of the 1965 NCAA College Division tournament. Aside from the Dolphins' stellar record, the selection committee cited the outstanding support shown by both students and area residents for the Dolphins at recent games as well as during the Christmas tournament. Le Moyne head coach Tommy Niland was named tournament director for the regional. [82] [83] [84]

The Dolphins won their second straight MECAA championship with a 4–1 league record [85] and entered the NCAA tournament 18–3, including 3–0 against University Division opponents. [86] [87] [88] [89] However, Assumption executed a suffocating defensive effort, frustrating the Dolphins and kncoking them out of the tournament, 76–58. [68] : 26  Le Moyne trailed by 16 at halftime and spent most of the game in foul trouble. The Dolphins' leading scorer, Gary DeYulia, scored Le Moyne's first four points on a layup and a jump shot but was shut down by the Greyhounds the rest of the way, finishing with just four points. Dan Frawley had a double-double for Le Moyne with 10 points and 11 rebounds. [90] [91]

In the regional third-place game, Gary DeYulia's steal and transition basket capped a run that gave the Dolphins a 53–51 lead and thrilled the crowd in the Le Moyne Athletic Center. Hartwick responded immediately with a run of their own to go ahead by 64–56. Le Moyne fought back, led by Eric Pitman and Dick Martyns and had the ball down by two points with 31 seconds to play. However, DeYulia's shot at the buzzer fell short, and the Warriors held on for a 70–68 victory. [68] : 26  DeYulia and Tom Mullen led the Dolphins with 17 points each. Mullen also grabbed nine rebounds. Gerry Glose scored 10 points and had nine rebounds for the Dolphins. [92] [93] [94]

Gary DeYulia was named a 1965 ECAC first-team All-Star. [95] He also received honorable mention for the 1965 Little All-America team. [96] DeYulia was also honored as first-team All-MECAA, and Tom Mullen was named to the second team. Tommy Niland won his fifth MECAA coach of the year award. [97]

In the final of their 1965 Christmas tournament, the Dolphins met Hartwick, a team that had beaten them twice during the previous season, including a game at the Le Moyne Athletic Center in the NCAA tournament. Neither team had a lead larger than six points, and the game went down to the wire. Eric Pitman scored to tie the game at 51 with 2:12 to play. After the Warriors turned the ball over, Pitman missed a driving layup, and Hartwick grabbed the rebound. With just 24 seconds to play, Dan Parham, who had a game-high 19 points and was named tournament MVP, was fouled. Parham missed the first free throw but made the second to give Hartwick a 52–51 lead. Gary DeYulia's shot from the left of the key was off the mark, but he snatched his own rebound near the foul line and hit a jump shot with one second on the clock to give the Dolphins a 53–52 victory. Tom Mullen led Le Moyne with 15 points, and DeYulia added 13. [98] [99]

For the second straight season, the Dolphins hosted NCAA tournament regional games in 1966. [100] [101] [102] Le Moyne entered the tournament 14–5, including two wins against University Division opponents, [103] [104] [105] but lost their first-round game to Philadelphia Textile, 83–61. [68] : 26  Gary DeYulia led the Dolphins with 26 points. [106] [107] Le Moyne salvaged their consolation game against Potsdam State, 86–63. [68] : 26  DeYulia had 25 points in the consolation game, giving him 51 for the two tournament games, and was named a Northeast Region Section B All-Star. [108] [109]

After the tournament, the Dolphins closed the regular-season with an 88–72 home victory over Siena to finish 16–6. Gary DeYulia had a game-high 23 points in his final collegiate contest. [110] [111] DeYulia finished his career with 1,212 points, second on Le Moyne' all-time scoring list. [112]

Gary DeYulia was named 1966 MECAA player of the year. Tom Mullen was selected second-team all-MECAA. [113] DeYulia was also named to the first-team small Catholic college all-America squad and to the small college all-America team [114] and received honorable mention on the Little All-America squad. [115]

A rebuilding year and two more NCAA tournament berths (1966–1969)

After struggling through an 11–10 season in 1966–67, the Dolphins regained their form and, led by captain Gerry McDermott, went 14–8 in 1967–68, including a trip to the NCAA tournament.

With Gerry McDermott slowed by an injury and able to play only limited minutes, Buffalo State used their size advantage to control the boards and defeat the Dolphins, 83–66, in the first round of the tournament. Le Moyne struggled throughout the game to get good looks at the basket against taller defenders. Tom Downey managed to score 13 points. John Zych was the only other Dolphin to reach double figures with 10 points. McDermott finished with eight points. [68] : 27  [116]

Northeastern hit 23 of 34 free-throw attempts compared with only 6 for 11 by the Dolphins, and the Huskies won the consolation game of the Northeast Region's Section B, 67–54. Each team had 44 rebounds, and Le Moyne had 24 field goals, while Northeastern had only 22. However, the Dolphins were unable to defend the larger Huskies without fouling. Senior Dave Cary came off the bench to score a season-high 21 points for Le Moyne. Earl Eichelberger had 10 rebounds. Tom Downey was held to four points. Gerry McDermott exacerbated his left heel injury in the Buffalo State game and did not play. [68] : 27  [117]

Gerry McDermott was named to the second team of the 1968 NCAA District 2 College Division All-Stars. [118]

The Dolphins were 4–1 in MECAA play in 1968–69, [119] and shared the conference championship with Saint Peter's. [120]

The Dolphins were invited to the NCAA tournament in 1969, for the second straight season and fifth time in six years and selected to host the East Regional tournament games. [121] [122] Matt Fallis had been suffering from an ankle injury but was able to play in the Dolphins' first-round game against Montclair State and finished with 12 points. Chuck Brady had 14 points in the first half, and the Dolphins had a 43–40 lead at intermission after a back and forth opening stanza which saw each team lead by as many as seven points. The Indians opened the second half with a three-point play to tie the game at 43. With the score tied at 58, Montclair State went on a 12–2 run to take a 10-point lead as the Dolphins' shooting went cold. Le Moyne got no closer than six points down, until Brady's midcourt shot went through the hoop at the final buzzer, as the Indians held on for an 81–77 win. Brady scored a game-high 24 points. [123]

The Dolphins jumped all over Albany State (NY) in the regional third-place game, building a 44–30 halftime lead and stretching it to a 20-point advantage early in the second half. However, the Great Danes fought back, led by Rich Margison, who scored 24 second-half points on 10-for-13 shooting. Le Moyne had a 70–66 lead in the final minute, but two baskets by Margison, the second with 20 seconds to play, tied the game at 70. A Margison free throw with three seconds left gave Albany State the win, 71–70. [68] : 27  Bob Bradley scored 24 points for the Dolphins and was named to the East Region all-tournament team. [124] [125] The Dolphins finished the season 15–8. They were 13–6 against College Division opponents and 2–2 versus University Division foes.

Tom Downey was named to the 1969 All-East Region first team by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. [125] [126]

Coach Niland's final years (1969–1973)

The Dolphins' 1969–70 season featured the debut of Phil Harlow, [127] [128] who would later become Le Moyne's all-time career scoring leader while still a junior. [129]

After NCAA tournament bids in each of the previous two seasons, expectations were high, and the Dolphins were ranked no. 1 among Upstate New York small college teams in pre-season polling conducted by the Upstate Sports Information Directors Council. [130] However, After a loss at Buffalo on February 21, [131] dropped the Dolphins to 7–10 on the season, the team needed wins in its final four games to finish with a winning record. [132] Victories over Ithaca, [133] Saint Michael's, [134] Cortland State, [135] and Siena [136] gave the Dolphins a four-game winning streak to close the season at 11–10. It was the 12th consecutive winning season and 18th straight non-losing season for the Dolphins. However, this was the first season since the NCAA split into the University Division and the College Division in 1956, in which the Dolphins failed to earn a victory over a University Division opponent. Le Moyne was 11–6 against College Division teams and 0–4 versus University Division foes.

The Dolphins finished the 1970–71 season 9–12, their first losing record since 1951–52. Le Moyne was 1–4 against University Division opponents and 8–8 versus College Division foes.

Phil Harlow became Le Moyne's all-time leading career scorer on March 4, 1972. [137] The Dolphins rebounded from their losing season the previous year and finished 13–10. [138]

On November 16, 1972, Le Moyne announced that Tommy Niland would resign as head coach at the end of the 1972–73 season but would continue in his role as athletic director. Niland cited a desire to spend more time with his family as a reason for his decision. The school said a successor would be named by the end of December. [139] [140] On December 19, Le Moyne announced that assistant coach Tom Cooney would succeed Niland. Cooney played for three seasons on Le Moyne's varsity team and was captain as a senior during the 1963–64 season, during which the Dolphins were MECAA champions and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA College Division tournament. Prior to becoming Niland's assistant, Cooney was the head coach at St. Vincent de Paul High School in Syracuse for three seasons. [141]

The Dolphins defeated St. Francis (NY) on February 6, 1973, improving to 9–5 overall and completing their conference slate with a perfect 5–0 record. [142] [143] The MECAA championship was the Dolphins' seventh league title.

Tommy Niland closed his coaching career with a 65–61 loss at archrival Siena on March 3, 1973. The Dolphins were 13–9 overall in his final season, and as of 2025, his 326 wins and seven NCAA tournament appearances both remain the most ever by a Le Moyne head coach. Phil Harlow scored 29 points in his final collegiate game to finish as Le Moyne's all-time leading scorer with 1,823 points. [144]

Tom Cooney takes the reins (1973–1979)

Le Moyne became a Division II institution, when the College Division was split in 1973.

New head coach Tom Cooney's inaugural recruiting class included 6'5" Pete Hogan and 6'7" John Lauer, [145] [146] both of whom would ultimately finish their careers in the top six among Le Moyne's all-time career scorers.

Tom Cooney earned his first head coaching victory in his second game at the helm, a 76–74 upset at Potsdam State on December 4, 1973. Le Moyne used a full-court press to stage a comeback from a seven-point second-half deficit. John Ferraro, who scored 16 points to lead the Dolphins, hit a pair of free throws on a one-and-one opportunity to break a 74–74 tie with 29 seconds remaining and provide the winning margin. [147]

Senior co-captain Rick May became the ninth player in program history to reach 1,000 career points [148] and also became the first Le Moyne player to record 1,000 career rebounds during the 1973–74 season. [149]

The Dolphins finished the 1973–74 season 14–10, on a four-game winning streak and with victories in seven of their final eight games. The Dolphins were 4–5 against teams that secured bids to the 1974 NCAA Division II tournament and 2–2 versus Division I foes. [150]

After starting the 1974–75 season 0–4 and 3–8, [151] the Dolphins rebounded to finish 14–11 and earned three victories over Division I opponents. [152] [153] [154]

Jene Grey, who would finish his career as Le Moyne's second leading career scorer and rebounder, made his collegiate debut in the 1975–76 season. [155] [156] The Dolphins started the campaign 0–4, before defeating Cortland State in December. [157] Le Moyne did not win a road game until February, starting the season 0–7, and Cortland State was the Dolphins' victim again. [158]

Depite the troubling start to the season, the Dolphins earned a home win against Gannon, [159] ranked no. 4 in the NCAA Division II poll [67] : 23  and defeated Division I Iona, [160] their 60th all-time victory over a Division I/major program.

Junior Pete Hogan became the 10th Le Moyne player to surpass 1,000 career points during the 1975–76 season. [161]

The Dolphins won their season finale, 81–77, over Siena on March 4, 1976, to even their record at 12–12. John Lauer had a double-double for the Le Moyne and became the 11th player in program history to score 1,000 career points. [162] This was Siena's final game as a Division II program. The Indians' move to Division I for the 1976–77 season meant Le Moyne would not play their long-time archrival again until December 1987.

John Lauer was named to the 1976 ECAC Division II all-conference team. [163] Dolphins freshman Jene Grey received honorable mention. [164] Lauer was also named second-team Division II All-New York State. [165]

New rules that were effective for the 1976–77 season required Division I teams to schedule at least 75% of their games against Division I opponents. As Division I teams, it became impractical for St. Francis (NY) and Siena to remain in the MECAA. Also effective for the 1976–77 season was a rule requiring conferences that were members of the NCAA to either have all their members be part of the same NCAA division or to divide the conference in a manner to separate conference members by NCAA division. The remaining members of the MECAA were three Division II teams and one Division III team. Therefore, the MECAA was dissolved, and Le Moyne began competing as an independent in the 1976–77 season. The Dolphins won seven MECAA championships in their 21 seasons in the league.

Despite Siena's move to Division I, there were plans for Siena to play at Le Moyne on January 15, 1977, and for the Dolphins to continue their series with their archrivals, reduced to one game per season. However, Siena notified Le Moyne in September 1976, that it would be unable to keep its commitment for that date. Le Moyne had no open dates on which a game with Siena could be scheduled. [166] As a result, the two teams did not meet during the 1976–77 season, ending their annual series which started with the first varsity game Le Moyne played on December 7, 1948.

John Lauer, Pete Hogan and Jene Grey all missed time during the 1976–77 season due to injuries or illness. [167] [168] [169] [170] Nevertheless, the Dolphins went 4–0 against Division I opponents. [171] [172] [173] [174] The Dolphins were 12–6 in mid February and on the short list of teams under consideration for an NCAA tournament berth. [175] [176]

The Dolphins suffered a crushing loss at Buffalo State on February 19, that appeared to dash their hopes for an NCAA tournament bid. [177] In contrast to the Dolphins' glittering results against Division I opponents, the loss dropped Le Moyne to 2–5 versus Division II foes with just three games remaining on their schedule, one at Division I Iona and two against Division III teams. The Dolphins' overall record stood at 13–7, and Le Moyne was running out of opportunities to impress the NCAA tournament selectors. [178]

The Dolphins' originally scheduled game at Iona was cancelled, in order for the Gaels to comply with the maximum game limit required to be eligible for the ECAC Metro tournament. Since the NCAA tournament selectors anticipated making a final decision on February 27, and the Dolphins would not play again until March 1, their 14–7 record would be the basis on which their fate rested. [179] [180]

The Dolphins were not selected to play in the 1977 NCAA tournament, much to the dismay of athletic director Tommy Niland who noted that Le Moyne had embarrassed one the teams that received a bid, alluding to Le Moyne's 11-point victory over Assumption. Niland also indicated that he believed the selection committee had failed to choose the 32 best Division II teams in the country. Instead, regional selectors protected teams within their region, resulting in teams with as many as 11 losses getting invitations. [181]

The Dolphins won their season finale, 79–56, over Alfred on senior night at the Henninger Athletic Center. All five graduating seniors from head coach Tom Cooney's first recruiting class started the game for Le Moyne. John Lauer scored a game-high 19 points and finished his collegiate career fourth on Le Moyne's all-time scoring list. Pete Hogan had 10 points and finished as the sixth-highest scorer in Dolphins history. [182] The Dolphins finished the 1976–77 season 15–7 and a perfect 11–0 at home. Six of Le Moyne's seven road losses, one of which was decided in overtime, were by five points or fewer. The only loss the Dolphins suffered by more than five points was a 13-point setback at Hartwick, which were ranked no. 8 in the NCAA Division II poll at the time.

After dropping their season opener at Boston College, [183] the Dolphins turned their attention to their first-ever meeting with Syracuse, their neighbor only four miles away, who were ranked no. 12 in the AP Division I poll on December 2, 1977. The schools had a three-year agreement to meet annually. [184] Syracuse used their size and quickness advantages to defeat Le Moyne, 90–62. Jene Grey scored 26 points on 9-for-14 shooting, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots to lead the Dolphins. [185] [186]

The Dolphins' record reached its peak at 12–9 following a season-high five-game winning streak, but they lost four of their final five contests to finish the 1977–78 season 13–13. [187] Jene Grey ranked 21st in Division II in scoring average and seventh in rebounds per game for the season. [188]

With the Dolphins' record at 10–7 on February 11, 1979, head coach Tom Cooney informed his players that he was resigning effective at the end of the season. Cooney cited a desire to spend more time with his family and his dislike for recruiting and the travel associated with it. [189] [190] [191]

Riding a three-game winning streak, the Dolphins entered their February 20, 1979 game at Hartwick, ranked no. 8 in the Division II poll, [67] : 26  with a résumé that included a 12–7 record and a home win over Hartwick earlier in the season. With five games remaining on Le Moyne's schedule, this matchup with a ranked opponent represented a precious opportunity to impress NCAA tournament selectors. [192] However, a 14–0 second-half Hartwick run put the game away for the Warriors. Jene Grey scored 27 points to lead the Dolphins. [193] Despite the loss, Le Moyne remained under consideration for a tournament bid. [194]

The Dolphins' final home game of the 1978–79 season was played on February 26, at the Onondaga County War Memorial against Syracuse, ranked no. 6 in the AP Division I poll. After Le Moyne took an early 6–0 lead, [195] the Orangemen surged and took control of the game, defeating the Dolphins, 92–60. Jene Grey had a game-high 28 points for Le Moyne, who fell to 14–9. [196] During halftime, Le Moyne athletic director Tommy Niland announced that Mike Lee would take over as the Dolphins' head coach at the conclusion of the season. [197]

The NCAA tournament selectors filled the final spots in the bracket on February 27, and the Dolphins did not receive a berth. [198] The Dolphins lost their season finale, finishing 14–10. Jene Grey had game highs of 29 points and 13 rebounds to finish with career totals of 1,729 points and 969 rebounds, both second in program history. Tom Cooney finished his head coaching career 82–63. [199]

An Orangeman leads the Green and Gold (1979–1983)

Mike Lee, a former three-year starter and captain of the Syracuse Orangemen, [200] led the Dolphins to their worst record in program history at 6–19 in 1979–80, his first season as head coach. Le Moyne followed up with an even worse record at 5–21 the following season.

Mike Lee's Dolphins improved in his third and fourth seasons, and he led Le Moyne to a winning record in his final campaign. Players recruited by Lee, including Wright Lassiter, Paul Galvin and Bobby Chestnut, would go on to play key roles on more successful Dolphin teams after Lee's departure.

Mike McDermott scored 24 points to become the 14th player in program history to score 1,000 points for his career in the Dolphins' 69–68 home loss against Bloomsburg State, ranked no. 11 in the Division II poll at the time, [67] : 29  on February 10, 1982. [201]

John Beilein era (1983–1992)

Building a tournament team (1983–1988)

The Dolphins joined the Mideast Collegiate Conference (MECC) [202] in John Beilein's first season [203] [204] [205] and went undefeated in league play to win the conference regular-season championship. [206] However, Le Moyne lost their MECC tournament semifinal game [207] and were not selected for an at-large bid to the 1984 NCAA tournament. The 1983–84 season marked the first time in program history that the Dolphins won 20 games. [208]

Scott Hicks and Pete Jerebko, both of whom would become Le Moyne Hall of Famers, arrived as freshmen in 1984. [209] Despite a solid 19-win campaign in 1984–85, the Dolphins failed to earn an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament. Wright Lassiter had a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Dolphins and passed the 1,000 career points mark in Le Moyne's 78–75 double overtime loss to Philadelphia Textile on January 11, 1985. [210] [211] Bobby Chestnut scored 10 points to join Lassier in the 1,000-point club in the Dolphins' 74–62 loss at C.W. Post on January 27. [212] [213] Lassiter and Chestnut were named second-team All-MECC for the 1984–85 season. Lassiter was the league's leading rebounder at 9.7 per game. Pete Jerebko was named the MECC's all-freshmen team. He was second in the conference in field-goal percentage at 61.9%, trailing teammate James Henderson, who hit at a 62.1% clip. [214]

After a losing season marred by injuries, illness and suspensions, despite James Henderson reaching 1,000 career points [215] and Pete Jerebko and Walter Hill being named 1986 second-team MECC All-Stars, [216] Le Moyne bounced back with their second 20-win season in 1986–87. [217] However, after falling in the MECC tournament, [218] Le Moyne was not selected for an at-large bid to the 1987 NCAA tournament. Hill and Scott Hicks were named 1987 first-team all-MECC. James Henderson was named to the second team. [219] Jerebko scored 14 points and became the 20th player in program history with 1,000 career points in the Dolphins' 97–82 loss at St. Michael's on February 7, 1987. [220]

Len Rauch, who would go on to finish his college career as Le Moyne's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, arrived for his freshmen season in 1987. [221] [222] Scott Hicks, Pete Jerebko and Rauch led the Dolphins to the regular-season co-championship of the MECC, [223] the conference tournament title [224] and a berth in the 1988 NCAA tournament.

After more than 11 years since the last meeting between the teams, the Dolphins renewed their rivalry with Division I Siena on December 5, 1987. [225] The Indians raced to an early 12-point lead, but Le Moyne responded with a run to tie the game with a minute to play before the break. Siena scored six points in the final minute of the half to take a 45–39 lead at intermission. The Dolphins remained within striking distance and had a chance to tie the game in the final minute, but Pete Jerebko's three-point attempt was off the mark, and Le Moyne suffered a difficult road loss, 75–70. Freshman Len Rauch led the Dolphins with 25 points and 14 rebounds. [226] Scott Hicks scored 12 points for Le Moyne, surpassing 1,000 points for his career. [227] [228]

Following a 78–71 road win at Philadelphia Textile, which improved the Dolphins' record to 17–4 overall and 6–1 in MECC play, [229] Le Moyne was ranked no. 16 in the NCAA Division II poll on February 15, 1988. [67] : 35  [230] It was the Dolphins' first appearance in a major poll since finishing the 1964–65 season no. 14 in the United Press International (UPI) small college coaches' poll. [67] : 328 

The Dolphins lost in the first round of the 1988 NCAA tournament to California (PA) [231] [232] but rebounded to defeat Kutztown in the regional third-place game. [233]

The team's 24 wins in 1987–88 were the most in program history up to that point. John Beilein was named 1988 MECC coach of the year. Pete Jerebko was selected as MECC player of the year and senior of the year. Len Rauch was MECC freshman of the year. Scott Hicks joined Jerebko on all-MECC first team. Rauch was second-team all-MECC. [234] The 1987–88 Dolphins were inducted into the Le Moyne College Athletic Hall of Fame as a team in 2017. [235]

Sustained winning and Len Rauch (1988–1992)

The Dolphins lost senior co-captains Scott Hicks and Pete Jerebko to graduation in 1988. Seniors Dave Niland and Steve Lauer, juniors Russell Barnes, Jim Cunningham and Paul Rooney and sophomores Len Rauch, Julius Edwards, Andy Bechtle and Matt Lucas all returned. Freshman Bob Piddock, a 6'4" forward from South Jefferson High School in Adams, New York, was Le Moyne's top recruit. [236] Two walk-on freshman guards made the team: Jeffrey Heller, 6'2", and John Peyrebrune, 5'10". [237] Tom Herhusky, a 6'2" point guard, transferred from St. Lawrence to Le Moyne during the offseason, but he was required to sit out the 1988–89 season by NCAA rules. Herhusky graduated a year earlier than Piddock, but the two were high school teammates, and Herhusky said he wanted to be reunited with Piddock. He also cited Le Moyne's academic offerings and the availability of an athletic scholarship as reasons for the transfer. [238] Niland and Lauer were named co-captains. [239] Jim Emery was hired as an assistant coach in October 1988. Emery had been an assistant at George Mason since 1985, and had previously been Dolphins head coach John Beilein's assistant at Nazareth in 1982. [240]

The Dolphins opened their 1988–89 season with a 73–70 overtime loss to Belmont Abbey in the Randolph–Macon Tournament, which was actually a multi-team showcase event despite its name, on November 18. After getting into foul trouble early, Len Rauch led Le Moyne with 16 points. [241] The following evening, the Dolphins lost to host Randolph–Macon, 60–53. Rauch score 13 points to lead Le Moyne. [242]

On December 3, Siena visited Le Moyne for the first time since March 4, 1976. Despite a 26-point and 13-rebound performance by Len Rauch, Siena overwhelmed the Dolphins, 91–52, dropping Le Moyne's record to 1–3 on the season. [243]

The Dolphins hosted the 1988 New York Coca-Cola Classic and seized control of their opening-round game against defending ECAC Division II tournament champion Dowling early, cruising to an 84–70 victory on December 9. Len Rauch had a double-double to lead Le Moyne with 24 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists. Russell Barnes had 15 points and nine assists, and Julius Edwards added 17 points. [244] In the championship game the following evening, the Dolphins failed to score until five minutes had elapsed and fell behind early. A late first-half rally sparked by Dave Niland cut Cheyney's halftime lead to six points. However, the Wolves scored the first 10 points of the second half and led 45–28 with 15 minutes to play. The Dolphins' comeback began with a Rauch layup following an offensive rebounds. Le Moyne then began forcing turnovers, blocking shots, controlling the boards and hitting shots of their own. When Paul Rooney hot a pair of free throws with 1:12 remaining, the Dolphins had a 63–61 lead and were on a 35–16 run over 14 minutes. Cheyney responded with a three-point play to regain the lead. Rauch was fouled on Le Moyne's final possession with 12 seconds to play, and he hit both free throws. The Wolves' final desperation heave fell short, and the Dolphins had a 65–64 victory and the tournament title. The win improved the Dolphins' record to 4–3 on the season. [245]

Russell Barnes scored 18 points and freshman Bob Piddock added 12 to lead the Dolphins to an 81–70 victory over American International in the opening round of the Doc Jacobs Classic on December 29. [246] [247] The following evening, Le Moyne fell 14 points behind host Saint Michael's in the first half before closing the gap to just six points at intermission. In the second half, the Purple Knights built none-point leads on six separate occasions, only to see the Dolphins respond and tie the score each time. Trailing by nine points, 74–65, a seventh time with three minutes to play, Le Moyne mounted a final charge. Paul Rooney hit a three-pointer and Len Rauch completed a three point play to cut the lead to three points. After a stop on the defensive end, the Dolphins moved within a point, when Rooney scored from the paint with 1:02 to play. After the Dolphins got another stop, Rauch was called for an offensive foul. Le Moyne forced a turnover, when the Saint Michael's lost the ball out of bounds. Russell Barnes was poised to take the final shot, but he was stripped from behind by Greg Thomas, who dribbled out the clock and preserved a 74–73 win for the Purple Knights. Rauch had 17 points and nine rebounds and was named to the all-tournament team. [247] [248]

The Dolphins lost their fifth straight game, when they fell at home to Philadelphia Textile, 73–60, on January 14, 1989, dropping to 5–8 overall and 0–4 in MECC play. Len Rauch scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds but continued his recent erratic play. Le Moyne guards Russell Barnes, Julius Edwards and Dave Niland combined for only 13 points. The Dolphins led, 48–46, with 9:18 to play but were outscored, 27–12, down the stretch. [249] Two days later, Rauch scored 30 points, and the Dolphins erased an eight-point second-half deficit with a 17–4 run, winning, 80–79, at Mansfield. [250]

Len Rauch had a triple-double with 14 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists in the Dolphins' 96–80 home romp over Adelphi on January 27. Le Moyne used runs of 15–0 and 14–0 to build a 24-point lead late in the first half. Sophomore Andy Bechtle made his first collegiate start as the Dolphins' power forward and scored 10 points in the first 7+1⁄2 minutes of the game, finishing with 12 markers. Freshman Bob Piddock led Le Moyne with 18 points, seven of them coming during the Dolphins' 14–0 first-half burst. Le Moyne's 2-3 zone defense limited the Panthers to 35% shooting from the floor in the first half. Adelphi applied a pressing defense late in the second half, forcing Le Moyne turnovers and pulling within nine points at 83–74 with 1:54 to play, but the Panthers got no closer. The win improved the Dolphins' record to 9–9 overall and 2–4 in MECC play. [251] [252]

The Dolphins' man-to-man defense generated transition opportunities, and Le Moyne claimed a 26–12 lead midway through the first half of their January 31 home game against Gannon, ranked no. 12 in Division II. [67] : 36  The Golden Knights used their size advantage to cut Le Moyne's lead to four points in the second half, but the Dolphins responded with an 18–9 run that put them ahead, 66–53, with 8:35 to play. Le Moyne stopped driving to the basket and tried to milk the clock, but the Dolphins went cold from the perimeter. They had only one field goal over the final 5:45 of the game. That basket was scored by Russell Barnes with 15 seconds remaining and gave the Dolphins an 85–79 lead, icing the game. Barnes and Len Rauch each had a double-double for Le Moyne. Barnes finished with 10 points and 10 assists. Rauch scored 17 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Julius Edwards guarded Gannon's leading scorer, Chris Hollan, holding him to just 5-for-12 shooting from the floor, and scored 25 points to lead the Dolphins, who improved to 10–9 overall and 3–4 in MECC play. [253] [254]

The Dolphins dropped a critical decision at home against Pace, 79–78 in double overtime, on February 4. The Setters started the game slowly, having arrived only 20 minutes before tip-off, after spending five hours in a Burger King while mechanical trouble with their bus from Buffalo was addressed. The Dolphins quickly built a seven-point lead in less than nine minutes, and they extended that lead to 12 points with 15 minutes remaining. Pace's offense heated up from there, and the Setters took their first lead of the game with six minutes to play. The Dolphins led, 61–59, in the final minute, but the Setters tied the score on a pair of free throws. Julius Edwards fired a long jump shot at the buzzer that was off the mark. The Dolphins led by as many as five points in the first overtime period, but Pace battled back and tied the score in the closing minute. Russell Barnes attempted a three-pointer that was off the mark at the buzzer, sending the game to a second overtime. Le Moyne was protecting a one-point lead, when Rodney Reese hit an off-balance jump shot with two seconds on the clock to win the game for Pace. A win would have put the Dolphins into a three-way tie with Adelphi and Pace for third place in the MECC. The third- and fourth-place finishers were to play their MECC tournament quarterfinal games at home. Instead, Le Moyne was fifth in the league standings at 3–5, and Pace had earned the tiebreaker advantage over the Dolphins by sweeping the season series. [255]

After 18 straight losses versus Division I opponents, a streak that began in 1977, Le Moyne got 22 points from Andy Bechtle and overcame a five-point deficit with just over 10 minutes to play to defeat Army, 77–70, on February 7, at West Point. [256] [257] The win was Le Moyne's 65th all-time over a Division I/major program.

Len Rauch had a triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Dolphins to their fifth straight win, 94–73, over Buffalo on February 22. The victory was Le Moyne's 10th in their last 12 games, improving their record to 15–10 overall and 6–5 in MECC play, tied for fourth place with Adelphi. The Dolphins still had a chance at the fourth seed and home-court advantage in the MECC quarterfinals. Seniors Dave Niland and Steve Lauer left the floor in their final regular-season home game to a rousing ovation with 57 seconds remaining. [258] [259]

Entering their regular-season finale at Philadelphia Textile, ranked no. 16 in Division II, on February 25, the Dolphins would be assured of home-court advantage for the MECC tournament quarterfinals with a win and a Buffalo win over last-place Mercyhurst. A Gannon win over Adelphi the following day would also have give the Dolphins the fourth seed in the MECC tournament. The regular-season champion Rams built a 12-point lead in the game's first 12 minutes, and Le Moyne never got closer than five points down the rest of the way, and Philadelphia Textile cruised to an 86–61 victory. Len Rauch scored 17 points to lead Le Moyne. [260] The following day, Adelphi defeated Gannon, 79–76, [261] clinching the third seed in the MECC tournament and sealing Le Moyne into the fifth seed. [262]

The Dolphins were dominated in their MECC quarterfinal game at Pace, losing 79–61 on March 4. Andy Bechtle scored 13 points to lead Le Moyne. The Dolphins finished the 1988–89 season 15–12. [263] [264]

Len Rauch was named 1989 MECC sophomore of the year. [264] Rauch was also named to the Division II All-East team by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. [265]

The Dolphins lost Dave Niland and Steve Lauer to graduation in 1989, but all five starters returned. Seniors Russell Barnes, Paul Rooney and Jim Cunningham, juniors Len Rauch, Julius Edwards, Andy Bechtle and Matt Lucas and sophomores Bob Piddock and John Peyrebrune were all back for the 1989–90 season. Redshirt sophomore Tom Herhusky, a 6'2" point guard, who sat out the previous season after transferring from St. Lawrence, became eligible. John Haas, a 6'1" guard from Christian Brothers Academy was added to the team. Haas had played center as a high school senior before moving to point guard, because his coach thought he was the team's best ball handler. Haas had earned all-state recognition in football and had the opportunity to play receiver at Holy Cross. Le Moyne head coach John Beilein described Haas as an A student, who was likely to improve after concentrating on basketball. Haas averaged 21.2 points per game as a high school senior. [266] Christian Buchholz, a 6'5" forward from Frontier Central High School, also joined the team. Buchholz was a first-team All-Western New York player who averaged 20 points and nine rebounds per game as a high school senior. [267] Walk-on John Scanlon made the team. [268] Cunningham, who had originally made the team as a walk-on freshman, was named team captain for his senior season. [269]

The 1989–90 season was the last under the leadership of Tommy Niland, Le Moyne's athletic director since 1947, and the head basketball coach for the program's first 25 varsity seasons. By September 1989, a search was underway for a replacement for Niland, who announced he would retire at the end of June 1990. [270] In January 1990, long-time Le Moyne baseball coach Dick Rockwell was chosen as Niland's successor. [271]

The Dolphins opened their season at the First Citizens Classic in Mansfield, Pennsylvania against Clarion on November 17. Le Moyne trailed, 55–44, with 10 minutes to play, when Tom Herhusky sparked a 21–11 run to close the game, but the Dolphins came up short, falling to the Golden Eagles, 66–65. Herhusky scored 12 points to lead Le Moyne but missed a pair of free throws with three seconds remaining, sealing Clarion's victory. [272] Julius Edwards scored 20 points to lead the Dolphins to a 78–55 victory over Queens in the consolation game the following evening. [273]

The Dolphins hosted the opening round of the Coca-Cola Classic on December 8, and used a man-to-man defense to hold Davis & Elkins to just 12 second-half points, while exploding for 49 points of their own in an 87–34 victory. Le Moyne's close guarding held the Senators to 21% shooting from the floor, and junior reserve forward Andy Bechtle drew three charging fouls on Davis & Elkins players in the first half. Len Rauch had 19 points, 18 rebounds and four assists, team highs in all three categories for Le Moyne. [274] The following evening, the Dolphins were nursing a four-point lead with seven minutes to play, when they went on a 9–0 run to break open the championship game against Sacred Heart. The Pioneers battled back and got within six points at 78–72 with 25 seconds to play, but the Dolphins won the game, 80–72. Rauch scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out three assists and was the tournament most valuable player. Julius Edwards scored 21 points to lead the Le Moyne and joined Rauch on the all-tournament team. The win was the Dolphins' sixth straight, improving their record to 6–1 on the season. [275]

The Dolphins dropped an 84–66 decision to West Chester in the opening round of the Bentley College Holiday Festival on December 28. [276] Len Rauch scored 13 points to lead Le Moyne [277] and reached 1,000 points scored in his collegiate career. [278] The following evening, Julius Edwards and Tom Herhusky each scored 13 points to lead the Dolphins to a 72–63 victory over Queens in the consolation game. [279]

Tom Herhusky scored 35 points on 14-for-18 shooting from the floor, including 7 for 10 from three-point range, and snatched four rebounds while handing out five assists to lead the Dolphins to a 110–95 home win over Adelphi on February 3, 1990. After Le Moyne opened a 28–16 lead, the Panthers battled back and trailed, 55–50, at halftime. With the Dolphins' lead at 74–72, a three-pointer by Herhusky sparked a 7–0 run that stretched Le Moyne's lead back to nine points. Len Rauch scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Dolphins, while Russell Barnes finished with 17 points and four assists. Le Moyne improved to 12–6 overall and 3–4 in MECC play with the win. [280]

Russell Barnes scored 15 points, reaching 1,000 for his collegiate career, [281] in the Dolphins' 97–83 home victory over Saint Rose on February 21. Le Moyne stars Len Rauch, the team's leading scorer, and Julius Edwards were suspended by head coach John Beilein for disciplinary reasons. Beilein issued a statement indicating he was concerned about Rauch's lack of self-discipline in games and practices. Edwards was suspended for missing two practices after being told he would not start the game. Freshman John Haas started in place of Edwards and responded with 20 points on 8-for-9 shooting from the floor, including 2 for 3 from three-point range, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and a blocked shot in his first collegiate start. [282] [283]

The Dolphins got 30 points from Tom Herhusky and defeated Mercyhurst, 81–67, on February 24. Len Rauch and Julius Edwards returned to the lineup after being suspended for the previous game. Rauch started at center, and Edwards came off the bench with John Haas starting at shooting guard. Haas scored four points, and Edwards had eight. Herhusky shot 11 for 14 from the field. The Dolphins pulled away from the Lakers with a 6–0 run that gave them a 65–59 lead with seven minutes to play. Senior captain Jim Cunningham, who scored 12 points on 5-for-5 shooting from the floor, sparked the run with a jump shot. Rauch made a slick pass to Herhusky for an easy layup. Cunningham capped the spurt with a pair of free throws, and Le Moyne led the rest of the game. Rauch scored only six points but had eight rebounds and nine assists. The Dolphins improved to 16–8 overall and 5–6 in MECC play. [284]

The Dolphins controlled nearly all of their home and regular-season finale against Pace on March 2, but the Setters took their first lead of the game with two seconds remaining and escaped with a 60–58 win. Le Moyne had possession of the ball and a 58–55 lead with 1:06 to play, but Len Rauch's backdoor pass was out of the reach of Russell Barnes and sailed out of bounds with 25 seconds on the 45-second shot clock and 46 seconds on the game clock. With Jim Cunningham draped over him, Bert Brisbane made an incredible three-point shot to tie the score at 58 with 25 seconds left. Barnes then missed a 13-foot jump shot, and the rebound was grabbed by Rodney Reese, who was fouled by Barnes. Reese hit both ends of the one-and-one to provide the winning margin. Seniors Branes and Cunningham each scored 10 points in their final home game. Senior Paul Rooney scored one point. Tom Herhusky scored 11 points to lead Le Moyne. Rauch had nine points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Dolphins, who fell to 16–10 overall and 5–7 in the MECC. Le Moyne finished tied for fifth in the conference standings with Buffalo, who won both games versus the Dolphins, earning the tiebreaker. Adelphi finished fourth in the league but was under NCAA sanctions and not eligible for the MECC tournament. Therefore, Buffalo was seeded fourth and Le Moyne fifth. [285]

The Dolphins faced Buffalo on the home court of regular-season champion Gannon, which had been chosen as host of the tournament prior to the season, [286] in the MECC quarterfinals on March 8. Le Moyne's zone defense surprised the Bulls, holding them to 31% shooting from the floor, and Len Rauch and Bob Piddock provided an effective inside-outside game on the offensive end, leading the Dolphins to a 67–45 victory, avenging their two regular-season losses to Buffalo. Rauch had a game-high 16 points and snatched 12 rebounds, and Piddock scored 13 points, hitting three three-pointers. Tom Herhusky added 14 points for the Dolphins, who shot 55% from the floor. Le Moyne controlled the glass, outrebounding Buffalo, 38–23. [287]

The Dolphins fell behind by five points with 4:16 to play in their MECC semifinal game at Gannon on March 9, on an off-balance three-pointer by Chris Hollan with one second left on the shot clock and were unable to recover, falling, 55–53. Len Rauch scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Le Moyne, and Tom Herhusky added 16 points. [288]

The MECC tournament third-place game went to overtime, and Russell Barnes hit a deep three-pointer to give the Dolphins an early lead, but Philadelphia Textile controlled things from there, building a four-point lead by the closing minute. Julius Edwards hit a three-pointer at the buzzer that was not enough, and Le Moyne fell, 69–68. Len Rauch scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the Dolphins, who finished their season 17–12. [289]

Len Rauch was named 1990 first-team All-MECC, and Tom Herhusky was named to the second team. [290]

Russell Barnes was the only Dolphin starter to graduate in 1990. Also graduating were reserves Paul Rooney and Jim Cunningham. Redshirt senior Julius Edwards was on pace to graduate in December 1990, [291] but delayed it to play his full senior season. Seniors Len Rauch, Andy Bechtle and Matt Lucas, juniors Bob Piddock and Tom Herhusky and sophomores John Haas and Christian Buchholz all returned. Freshmen added to the team included Joe Girard, a 5'10" shooting guard, who scored over 2,000 points at Shenendehowa High School, Dan Sandel, a 6'7" center from Notre Dame College School in Welland, Ontario, Canada, [292] Andre Dearing, a 5'10" point guard from Fordham Preparatory School [293] and 6'7" forward Kale Gray. [294] Sandel was a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. [295] Edwards had surgery on his right knee during the off-season but, when practices began on October 15, was expected to be available by early November. [296] As the season approached, head coach John Beilein said Edwards had missed too much of training camp and was not yet in good enough shape to start the opener. [297] He was replaced in the lineup by Girard. [298] Former Dolphin Pete Jerebko was added to the staff as an assistant coach. [299]

Before the season, Adelphi, which was playing basketball in the MECC while also a member of the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC), moved its basketball program to the NYCAC. Pace and Philadelphia Textile also announced they would leave the MECC for the NYCAC following the 1990–91 season. This was the final season for Buffalo as a Division II team in its transition from Division III to Division I, which meant Buffalo would leave the MECC as well. Le Moyne, Gannon and Mercyhurst would be the only three programs remaining in the conference, and the future of the league was uncertain. [300]

After starting the season with a pair of home victories over Division III opponents, the Dolphins fell, 81–69, to South Carolina Spartanburg in the opening round of the Observer–Reporter Invitational, hosted by California (PA) on November 30. John Haas scored 16 points to lead Le Moyne. [301] The following evening, freshman Joe Girard scored 26 points on 8-for-12 shooting from three-point range to lead the Dolphins to a 92–61 win over Queens in the third-place game. The eight triples matched the program's all-time single-game record. [302]

The Dolphins hosted the opening round of the Coca-Cola Classic on December 7, and defeated Southampton, 81–67. With Le Moyne leading, 35–30, late in the first half, the Colonials were holding for the final shot. Tom Herhusky, who scored 22 points to lead the Dolphins, stole the ball and scored on a fast-break reverse dunk at the buzzer. Le Moyne stretched the lead to 14 points during the first 1:41 of the second half and controlled the game the rest of the way. In the other tournament opener, West Chester defeated Wheeling Jesuit, 84–66, which meant Le Moyne head coach John Beilein would not get an opportunity to coach against his alma mater for the first time in his career. [303] The following night, the Dolphins built a 10-point lead at intermission before West Chester worked their way back into the game, cutting the Dolphins' lead to four points with 17 seconds to play. Sold free-throw shooting, led by Len Rauch, who was 4 for 4 over the final 1:15, helped Le Moyne hold off the Golden Rams, 72–65. Herhusky scored 22 points, grabbed six rebounds and had five assists and three steals, claiming tournament most valuable player honors. Rauch had a double-doule with 18 points and 13 rebounds and joined Herhusky on the all-tournament team. Christian Buchholz had six points and seven steals for the Dolphins, who improved to 5–1 on the season. [304]

The Dolphins set a new program record for three-point field goals made in a game with 18 on 27 attempts and cruised to a 101–70 victory at Mercyhurst on January 25, their seventh straight win and 11th in 12 games. Tom Herhusky scored 24 points and was 7 for 8 from three-point range to lead Le Moyne, which improved to 13–2 overall and 3–0 in MECC play. [309] The following evening at Gannon, the Dolphins controlled the game most of the way, but a late charge by the Golden Knights capped by a late Darryl Freeman jump shot sent the contest to overtime. With the score tied at 84, Gary Douglas hit a 35-foot bank-shot three-pointer to give Gannon an 87–84 victory. Herhusky scored 22 points to lead the Dolphins. [310]

Tom Herhusky scored 23 points to lead the Dolphins to a 105–81 victory over St. Lawrence on February 12, improving Le Moyne's record to 16–5. With 1:47 remaining in the first half, Len Rauch grabbed the 1,029th carom of his career and became Le Moyne's all-time leading career rebouder. The action was halted momentarily as Rauch held the game ball and posed for a photo with Dolphins head coach John Beilein. Rauch finished with 13 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and four steals. [311]

Len Rauch had a triple-double with 22 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Dolphins to a 95–71 victory over Mercyhurst in their regular-season home finale on February 23. The win improved Le Moyne's record to 17–8 overall and 5–4 in MECC play and gave the Dolphins an opportunity to clinch home-court advanatage for their MECC semifinal game. [312] [313]

Len Rauch became Le Moyne's all-time leading career scorer, and the Dolphins clinched the no. 3 seed in their conference tournament and home-court advantage for their MECC quarterfinal game with an 80–65 victory at Buffalo on March 2.

The Dolphins could not overcome a six-minute scoreless stretch in the first half and fell to Pace, 87–68, in the MECC semifinals on the home court of no. 1 seed Philadelphia Textile on March 8. John Haas scored 17 points to lead Le Moyne, and Len Rauch finished with 14 points and a game-high nine rebounds. [317] The Dolphins completed their season the following day with an 86–84 overtime loss to Gannon. Le Moyne trailed by three points with 37 seconds remaining in overtime, when Rauch went to the free-throw line and missed both shots. However, he grabbed the rebound, scored, was fouled and completed the three-point play to tie the game. A layup at the buzzer by Derrick Price won the game for the Golden Knights. Rauch and Haas each scored 20 points in the game. Haas was named to the all-tournament team. The Dolphins finished the season 19–10. [318]

Len Rauch was named third-team Division II All-America, [319] the first player in program history to be named an All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, [320] and All-East District II second team. [321] Rauch was also 1991 MECC player of the year and first-team All-MECC. Joe Girard was MECC rookie of the year. Tom Herhusky was second-team All-MECC. [322]

Practices for the 1991–92 season began on October 15, 1991. The Dolphins lost Len Rauch, the program's all-time leading career scorer and rebounder, Julius Edwards, Andy Bechtle and Matt Lucas to graduation. Seniors Bob Piddock and Tom Herhusky, juniors John Haas and Christian Buchholz and sophomores Joe Girard, Dan Sandel and Andre Dearing all returned. Bob McFadden, a 6'6" forward from DeSales High School, who averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds as a senior, verbally committed to Le Moyne in early February 1991. [323] Karl Radday, a 6'6" center from New Milford High School in Connecticut, who averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds as a senior, followed with a verbal commitment later that month. [324] In May, head coach John Beilein announced that McFadden and Radday had signed along with Mike Montesano, a 6'3" guard from McQuaid Jesuit High School, who was seventh-team All-New York State and averaged 19 points, five rebounds and seven assists. [325] Also added to the team were walk-ons Jim Brindle, a freshman, and Rick Setticase, a sophomore. [326] Herhusky and Piddock were named co-captains. [327] Piddock was out indefinitely at the start of the season with a hamstring injury. Girard was suspended by the NCAA for the first two games of the season for playing in an unsanctioned summer league, an infraction self-reported by Le Moyne. [328]

Dolphins assistant coach Mike Rizzi left to become the head coach at Onondaga Community College. [329] Former Nazareth player Kevin Broderick, who graduated in 1989, joined Pete Jerebko as head coach John Beilein's new assistant, giving the Dolphins a pair of notably young assistant coaches. [330]

Following the dissolution of the MECC, [331] Le Moyne announced that the Dolphins would play the 1991–92 season as an independent, and the men's and women's basketball and men's soccer teams would join the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) in 1992. [332]

After several years without radio coverage, WVOA-FM planned to broadcast all Dolphins games live with Peter Stoyan, a 1991 Le Moyne graduate, handling the play by play. [333] The season's first two games were not broadcast because of a lack of funding from sponsors. [334]

The Dolphins opened the season with an 84–81 victory in the opening round of the Desmond Americana Tip Off Classic hosted by Saint Rose on November 22. Freshman Mike Montesano scored 18 points to lead Le Moyne. [335] The following evening, the Dolphins took the tournament title with a 93–81 vcitory over Saint Rose.

[339] The following day, Le Moyne fell to host Saint Michael's, 68–67, in overtime in the tournament final. Montesano scored 18 points, including three on a buzzer-beater at the end of regulation, [340] and Haas had 11 points and a game-high nine assists. Both were selcted to the all-tournament team. [341]

The Dolphins overcame a 14-point halftime deficit and forced overtime against Franklin Pierce in the opening round of the Bloomsburg Invitational on January 10, 1992, but fell short, 84–80. Mike Montesano had a game-high 23 points for Le Moyne. [342] Le Moyne had a chance to win the game, when Andre Dearing wet to the line for a pair of free throws with no time on the clock, but he missed them both. [343] Montesano scored 16 points to lead the Dolphins to an 81–65 victory over Alvernia the following evening in the third-place game. Montesano was named to the all-tournament team. [344]

Once it was clear that Le Moyne was out of contention for an NCAA tournament berth, head coach John Beilein gave more playing time to his younger players, and senior co-captain Tom Herhusky lost his starting role. [345] [346] [347] The lineup adjustment proved successful, and the Dolphins closed their season on February 29, with a 66–64 home victory over Mercyhurst, their seventh consecutive win. After the Lakers went on a late 8–0 run to take a 64–64 lead, Herhusky, who had 26 points on 10-for-14 shooting in his final collegiate game, tied the contest with a three-pointer. Mercyhurst's next possession produced a pair of missed free throws, and John Haas, who finished with 10 points, hit a driving layup at the buzzer to win the game for Le Moyne. Dan Sandel had seven points and 17 rebounds for the Dolphins, who finished the season 15–11. [348]

Mike Montesano was named 1992 ECAC Division II co-rookie of the year. [349]

On April 9, 1992, John Beilein stepped down as head coach of the Dolphins to take the same position at Canisius, a team he had followed as a child. In nine years at Le Moyne, Beilein finished 163–94. His .634 winning percentage was the best for any Dolphins head coach up to that point. [350]

Scott Hicks era

Le Moyne hired Scott Hicks, who played for the Dolphins from 1984 to 1988, under former coach John Beilein, as their new head coach on May 22, 1992. Hicks had been co-captain of the Dolphins team that reached the NCAA tournament in the 1987–88 season. After graduating from Le Moyne, Hicks worked as an assistant coach at Hamilton for two years before moving on to Syracuse, where he worked for Jim Boeheim for two more years. Hicks was 26 years old at the time, and Le Moyne's search committee members believed that his age was an advantage, because he could relate well to athletes trying to excel academically. [351] Le Moyne received more than 70 applications from those interested in filling the coaching vacancy. [352]

Practices for the 1992–93 season commenced on November 1. The Dolphins lost Tom Herhusky, a reliable scorer, and Bob Piddock to graduation in 1992. Four regular starters from the previous campaign returned: seniors Christian Buchholz and John Haas, junior Joe Girard and sophomore Mike Montesano. Also returning were juniors Dan Sandel, who started several games late in the 1991–92 season, and Andre Dearing and sophomores Bob McFadden, Karl Radday and Jim Brindle. A pair of freshmen recruited by former head coach John Beilein were added to the team. Dan Drews, a 6'8" center played for New York State Section 5 Class B champion Palmyra-Macedon High School. Adam Stockwell, a 6'3" guard [353] from Belleville-Henderson High School, was the only high school player in New York state to reach 2,000 career points in 1992. [354] The first recruit for new head coach Scott Hicks was Martin Janson, a 6'10" sophomore transfer center from Sweden. Due to the Division I age limit of 24 years old, Janson had only one year of eligibility in Division I. However, he had three years of eligibility in Division II, and Hicks was able to sign the 23-year-old. [349] [355] [356] Janson had represented Sweden in international youth competition [357] and had hopes of making the senior team. [358] Walk-on freshmen Joe Stickle and Mike Cassella were also added to the team. Buchholz and Haas were named co-captains. [359]

After playing the 1991–92 season as an independent, Le Moyne joined the NECC in 1992. [360] [361]

Chris Granozio and Don Familo, both 1986 Le Moyne graduates, replaced Peter Stoyan, who moved to Florida, calling Dolphins games on the radio in 1992. Granozio handled play-by-play, and Familo provided the color on WVOA-FM. [362]

The Dolphins erased an early second-half nine-point deficit with a 17–2 run and cruised to a 92–76 victory over Saint Michael's at home on November 28, 1992. Mike Montesano scored 30 points to lead Le Moyne. Dan Sandel had a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Senior point guard John Haas scored 20 points, pulled down nine rebounds and dished out seven assists. [357]

Dan Sandel sprained his medial collateral ligament early in the second half of the Dolphins' 65–63 win at Pace on December 6, and was expected to miss several weeks. A pair of free throws by Adam Stockwell with eight seconds to play secured the win for Le Moyne, which improved to 3–0 on the season. While Sandel was unavailable, Stockwell was expected to start for the Dolphins. [363]

The Dolphins hosted the opening round of the Coca-Cola Holiday Inn Carrier Circle Classic on December 11, and defeated Hilbert, 84–51. Mike Montesano scored 15 points to lead Le Moyne. [364] The following evening, Montesano scored 23 points to lead five Dolphins in double figures as Le Moyne captured the tournament title with a 90–75 victory over Pitt-Johnstown. Martin Janson had 14 points and 16 rebounds for the Dolphins. Montesano was named the tournament's most valuable player. Christian Buchholz had 11 points in the title game and joined Montesano on the all-tournament team. Le Moyne improved to 5–0 on the season. [365]

The Dolphins ventured a bit more than three miles to take on Division I Syracuse, ranked no. 13 in the AP poll, [366] in a battle of unbeatens. [367] Syracuse paid Le Moyne about $15,000, which represented 40% of the basketball budget for the season. [368] The Dolphins started the game strong and led, 11–10, with 14:37 left in the first half, before the Orangemen went on an 18–3 run. Le Moyne recovered to pull within 10 points with five minutes to play in the half, but Syracuse responded with a 17–2 run and led, 51–27, at intermission. The Dolphins' shooting heated up, and they outscored the Orangemen, 25–23, over the first 11+1⁄2 minutes of the second half, but Syracuse controlled final eight minutes and cruised to a 102–71 win. Point guard John Haas finished with 14 points, seven assists and three steals for Le Moyne. Center Martin Janson led the Dolphins with 17 points and eight rebounds. Lawrence Moten led the Orangemen with 16 points and 12 rebounds, including nine off the offensive boards.

John Haas and Martin Janson each scored 15 points in the Dolphins' 83–56 loss at Division I Siena on December 28. After the Saints controlled the game most of the way, Janson's offensive reboound and three-point play pulled the Dolphins within a point with 12:44 to play, but Siena went on a 27–5 run over the next nine minutes to put the game away. Janson grabbed 12 rebounds, and Haas added four assists for Le Moyne, which dropped to 5–2 on the season. [371] [372] For his efforts against Syracuse and Siena, Janson was named NECC rookie of the week. [361]

The Dolphins played their first NECC game at Keene State on January 5, 1993. Mike Montesano scored 30 points and shot 6 for 9 from three-point range to lead Le Moyne to an 84–71 win. Dan Sandel returned to the lineup and scored eight points. [373] [374]

The following evening, the Dolphins visited Franklin Pierce, ranked no. 2 in the NCAA Division II poll. [67] : 40  Le Moyne closed the first half on a 22–10 run and had a 37–31 lead at the break. A 10-foot jump shot by Martin Janson, who finished with eight points, gave the Dolphins a 43–35 lead with 15:44 to play. However, the Ravens responded with a 12–0 run that gave them the lead for good, and Franklin Pierce cruised to a 76–69 victory. Dan Sandel scored 16 points to lead Le Moyne.

Martin Janson repeated as NECC rookie of the week and was also named ECAC Division II rookie of the week on January 18. [376]

The Dolphins had a brief two-game homestand over three days and welcomed a pair of ranked teams. Franklin Pierce, ranked no. 4 in the NCAA Division II poll, [67] : 40  claimed a 9–2 lead over Le Moyne in the first three minutes of the game on January 30. The Dolphins battled back, and Adam Stockwell's jump shot over 6'8" Jason Miglionico cut the Ravens' lead to 52–50 with 11:32 to play. However, Franklin Pierce hit a three-pointer on their next possession. After a shoving match between Le Moyne's John Haas and the Ravens' Larry Wynn expanded to involve several Franklin Pierce players, Miglionico was ejected for leaving the bench and joining the fracas. Mike Montesano hit a pair of technical free throws, and the Ravens' lead was 58–54 with 9:51 left. However, Franklin Pierce scored the game's next five points and pulled away from there for a 79–66 victory. The Ravens' defense forced 20 turnovers, and Le Moyne managed only nine assists.

After a John Haas bank shot gave the Dolphins their first lead at 65–63 with 3:50 on the clock, the Penmen scored the next five points to take a 68–65 lead with two minutes remaining. The Dolphins had possession in the closing seconds, trailing, 68–67. However, a short jump shot by Chriatian Buchholz was off the mark and rebounded by New Hampshire College, which held on for the win. Stockwell scored 22 points off the bench to lead Le Moyne. Dan Sandel scored 20 points, snatched six rebounds and neutralized Wayne Robertson, the New Hampshire College center, who came into the game averaging 20.5 points and 14.7 rebounds per contest. [378] Robertson finished with only six points and five rebounds. The loss was the Dolphins' fourth straight, dropping them to 9–8 overall and 3–6 in NECC play. [379]

John Haas became the 22nd Dolphin to reach 1,000 career points in Le Moyne's 100–75 win at Division III Mount Saint Mary (NY) on February 9. Christian Buchholz scored 16 points to lead Le Moyne, which improved to 11–9 on the season. [380]

John Haas recorded his 500th career assist in the Dolphins' 109–93 home victory over New Haven on February 13. Le Moyne shot 61% from the floor in the first half and led, 51–27, at the break. The Chargers had embarked on their road trip to Le Moyne for the Saturday evening game at 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon. However, a series of mechanical failures involving three different buses resulted in the Chargers arriving at 2 a.m. Saturday morning. To make matters worse, New Haven took a bus from their hotel to the Henninger Athletic Center for a morning shoot-around, but the bus driver misunderstood the instructions and left after dropping them off. The players were stuck waiting at the gym for five hours. Nevertheless, Chargers head coach Stu Grove made no excuses, crediting the Dolphins for their stellar play. Mike Montesano scored 25 points to lead Le Moyne. Haas finished with 18 points and seven assists. Dan Sandel had a double-double for the Dolphins with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Le Moyne went on a 14–2 run and tied the game just over three minutes later. Girard was 3 for 4 from three-point range during the run. The Golden Knights regained their composure, and the game was close the rest of the way. With the score tied at 53, Mike Montensano's triple put the Dolphins in front for good with 4:39 to play. Gannon got within a point in the final minute, but Le Moyne's solid free-throw shooting allowed them to hold on for a 68–63 victory.

Montesano followed with another triple in overtime that put Le Moyne ahead for good, 75–73, and the Dolphins defeated the Penmen, 78–75. Montesano finished with a career-high 31 points. This was Le Moyne's second straight win over a ranked opponent and fifth straight overall, and it was the only regular-season loss New Hampshire College suffered in NECC play this season. The Dolphins improved to 15–9 overall and 5–7 in NECC play, keeping Le Moyne's hopes of hosting a NECC tournament quartfinal game alive. [384]

After another win at Massachusetts Lowell on February 21, the Dolphins put themselves in position to earn a home game in the NECC tournament quarterfinals with a win in their regular-season finale, a home tilt against Southern Connecticut State.

Martin Janson added 18 points, and Christian Buchholz finished with 14 points for the Dolphins. [387] [388]

Top-seeded New Hampshire College hosted the NECC semifinals, and the Dolphins were matched with no. 2 seed Franklin Pierce, ranked no. 16 in the NCAA Division II poll, [67] : 40  The Dolphins' late 9–0 run flipped a three-point deficit to a 69–63 lead. After the teams exchanged four points each, Le Moyne was ahead, 73–67, with 1:22 to play. However, the Ravens took control from there, ending the game on an 8–0 run for a 75–73 victory. Andre Dearing fired a desperation three-pointer at the buzzer, but it missed to the left. The loss ended the Dolphins' eight-game winning streak as well as their season. John Haas had a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists to lead Le Moyne, which finished the season 18–10. [389]

Mike Montesano was named second-team All-NECC. Dan Sandel finished 11th in rebounding in Division II for the season with an average of 10.5 per game. The Dolphins were second in free-throw shooting in Division II, connecting on 75.6% of their charity tosses. [390]

The Dolphins lost John Haas and Christian Buchholz to graduation in 1993. Seniors Joe Girard, Dan Sandel and Andre Dearing, juniors Mike Montesano, Bob McFadden and Karl Radday and sophomores Adam Stockwell, Dan Drews and Joe Stickle all returned for the 1993–94 season. Martin Janson, who averaged 11 points and seven rebounds the previous season, played for Sweden's national team in EuroBasket [391] and then represented his country at the World University Games over the summer. He left Le Moyne and had plans to play professionally in Europe in the fall. Freshman John Henches, a 6'8" center from Shenendehowa High School was new to the team. [392] Also added were freshmen Bob Kawa Jr., a 5'10" guard, Rob Atene, [393] a 6'1" guard, and 6'2" forward Bryan Menar. [394] Kawa was a walk-on who played at Christian Brothers Academy [395] and the son of Bob Kawa, who played for the Dolphins from 1970 to 1973, and served as an assistant coach from 1976 to 1980, and for the 1982–83 season. Girard and Sandel were named co-captains. [396] Le Moyne hired Chris Downs [397] and Daryl Crist as assistant coaches. [398] Crist completed his paying career at Seton Hall the previous season. [399]

A cloud of uncertaintly hung over the Dolphins as the season was about to begin. Le Moyne announced that six unnamed male athletes would be suspended from competition for gambling on major college sporting events. The identity of the student-athletes involved remained confidential; before the start of the season, even head coach Scott Hicks was not told whether any of his players were involved. Le Moyne conducted its own investigation and determined the length of each suspension based on the extent of the studnt-athlete's involvement in gambling activities. Dr. Michael W. Yost, Le Moyne's vice president for student life, said that, while the conduct was disappointing, the cooperation of the students was outstanding. In addition to the suspensions, the student-athletes would participate in educational activities and receive counseling. Since NCAA rules require that student-athletes who gamble on major college sports automatically lose their athletic eligibility, Le Moyne had to apply for reinstatement of the six athletes. The NCAA approved Le Moyne's remediation plan and granted reinstatement to all six. [400] [401] [402]

The Dolphins opened their season at Saint Rose on November 19, and made the trip without Mike Montesano and Adam Stockwell. Head coach Scott Hicks would say nothing more than that they were suspended for violating team policy, but it appeared likely that Montesano and Stockwell were two of the six student-athletes suspended for gambling. Joe Girard scored 21 points to lead Le Moyne in a 65–63 defeat. [403]

After starting the season with three road losses, the Dolphins hosted Roberts Wesleyan on November 29, and fell behind 13–2 and 18–6. Dan Sandel then dominated the paint on the offensive end, scoring 20 first-half points, as Le Moyne finished the half on a 33–12 run to take a nine-point lead at the break. Andre Dearing carried the load in the second half, scoring 17 points after intermission. Sandel finished with 30 points and 11 rebounds. Dearing also scored 30 points and had five steals. Freshman Rob Atene scored three points and had seven assists for Le Moyne. Mike Montesano and Adam Stockwell remained suspended for violating team rules. [404]

The Dolphins hosted Mount Saint Mary (NY) in the opening round of their Coca-Cola Holiday Inn Carrier Circle Classic on December 10. After claiming a 14-point lead at imtermission, a 16–7 Le Moyne run to open the second half put the game away, and the Dolphins won, 97–56. Dan Sandel scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Le Moyne, which had six players score in double figures. Andre Dearing scored 16 points and had team-highs of seven assists and five steals for the Dolphins. Mike Montesano remained suspended for violating team rules. Adam Stockwell's suspension ended after the season's first four games, but he and Bryan Menar each missed their second straight contest. Both were suffering from mononucleosis. [405]

The following evening, Dan Sandel scored 27 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, leading the Dolphins to a 90–81 victory over Mercyhurst in the tournament final. Rob Atene scored eight points and had seven assists for Le Moyne. Sandel was the tournament's most valuable player and was joined on the all-tournament team by teammates Andre Dearing and Joe Girard. The Dolphins continued playing without Mike Montesano, Adam Stockwell and Bryan Menar. [406] Sandel was named NECC player of the week and made the ECAC honor roll on December 13. [407]

Aftr serving a four-game suspension and missing three more contests with mononucleosis, Adam Stockwell returned to the lineup in the Dolphins' wire-to-wire 79–63 win at Keene State on January 4, 1994. Dan Sandel scored 22 points and snatched 12 rebounds to lead Le Moyne. Stockwell finished with 11 points. The Dolphins improved to 4–4 overall and 1–0 in NECC play. [408]

Mike Montesano made his season debut after serving an eight-game suspension in the Dolphins' 68–65 loss at Franklin Pierce on January 5. Dan Sandel scored a game-high 19 points for Le Moyne. Montesano finished with six points. [409]

Dan Sandel was named NECC co-player fo the week on January 10, after averaging 19.3 points and 12.7 rebounds per game and shooting 64% from the field in three games. [410]

The Dolphins recorded an impressive home win over New Hampshire College, ranked no. 8 in the NCAA Division II poll, [67] : 41  on January 12. After falling behind, 9–2, Le Moyne went on an 18–4 run over six minutes to take a seven-point lead. After the Penmen cut the lead to 27–26, Bob McFadden and Mike Montesano answered with a pair of jump shots. New Hampshire College scored the first six points of the second half to cut the Dolphins' lead to 45–44. Le Moyne responded with a 10–2 run, highlighted by Andre Dearing's steal and length-of-the-floor drive for a basket. The Dolphins controlled the rest of the game, winning, 94–85. Dan Sandel had a double-double for the 10th straight game with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Andre Dearing had six points and eight assist for Le Moyne. The win was the Dolphins' third straight and sixth in their last seven games, improving their record to 7–5 overall and 4–1 in NECC play. [411]

Bryan Menar, who had missed 11 games and was still ill with mononucleosis, applied for a medical redshirt in January 1994. [410]

Dan Sandel was named ECAC and NECC player of the week on January 17. He averaged 22.3 points and 13.3 rebounds per game and shot 71% from the floor. [412]

The Dolphins entered their January 22 game at Southern Connecticut on a five-game winning streak, winners of eight of their previous nine games and in first place in the NECC. [412] Dan Sandel's dunk gave Le Moyne a 66–51 lead with 8:33 to play. However, the Owls closed the game on a 22–6 run and won the game, 73–72, on a six-foot jump shot by Cedric Pitt from the lane at the buzzer. The Dolphins shot an abysmal 5 for 19 from the free-throw line, including 2 for 7 over the final five minutes. Mike Montesano scored 20 points to lead Le Moyne. Sandel had a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds, after his double-double streak had been stopped at 10 straight games in the Dolphins' previous contest. Andre Dearing had 11 points and five assists. Le Moyne fell to 9–6 overall and 6–2 in NECC play. [413]

Senior Joe Girard became the 24th player in Le Moyne program history to score 1,000 career points in the Dolphins' 92–71 home win over St. Lawrence on February 2. Girard finished with 12 points on 3-for-12 shooting from the floor; all his field-goal attempts were three-point shots. Dan Drews set a Division II record with his 18th consecutive three-pointer without a miss. Drews finally missed with about five minutes to play. Drews finished with 18 points to lead Le Moyne. Dan Sandel scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Dolphins, and Rob Atene had two points and seven assists. [414] Le Moyne improved to 12–6 with the win, their third straight and 11th in their last 13 games.

Senior Dan Sandel passed the 1,000 career points mark in the Dolphins' 86–80 victory at Sacred Heart on February 6. Trailing by five points early in the second half, the Dolphins went on an 18–5 run to take a 51–43 lead with 11:55 to play. Le Moyne shot 9 for 9 from the free throw line over the last 1:16 of the game to repel the Pioneers' comeback attempt. Andre Dearing led the Dolphins with 21 point and four assists. Sandel had a double-double with 13 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Le Moyne improved to 13–7 overall and 9–3 in the NECC. [415]

Dan Sandel scored 30 points on 14-for-18 shooting from the floor and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Dolphins to an 86–73 home win over Hilbert on February 10. Rob Atene scored two points and dished out six assists for Le Moyne. [416]

Junior Mike Montesano scored 24 points and became the third Dolphin this season to surpass 1,000 career points in Le Moyne's 100–67 home win over New Haven. Dan Sandel had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds for Le Moyne. Andre Dearing scored seven points and handed out four assists. The Dolphins' third straight win and 14th in their last 17 games improved their record to 15–7 overall and 10–3 in NECC play. [417] That was good for third place in the conference, just percentage points behind Franklin Pierce and New Hampshire College, which were tied for first place at 9–2.

Mike Montesano scored 35 points and was 20 for 23 from the free-throw line, leading the Dolphins to a 106–78 win at Massachusetts Lowell on February 20, 1994. Le Moyne trailed by nine points with 5:02 remaining in the first half and went on a 17–0 run to claim a 51–43 lead at the break.

Dan Sandel had a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds for Le Moyne. Karl Radday added nine points and eight assists. The Dolp hins improved to 16–9 overall and 11–4 in NECC play. [418]

After their first home loss of the campaign in their regular-season finale against Southern Connecticut on February 26, [419] the Dolphins finished third in the NECC with a league record of 11–5. Le Moyne hosted Massachusetts Lowell, a team they had beaten easily twice during the regular season, in a NECC quarterfinal game on March 1. [420] [421] The Dolphins were confused by the changing zone defenses used by the Chiefs and held to 36% shooting from the field and 33% from three-point range, well short of their 40% accuracy from beyond the arc entering the game. Le Moyne committed 1 turnovers, even though Lowell did not press often. Head coach Scott Hicks said that many of the turnovers were unforced, and the players failed to recognize the zones being used, resulting in poor shot selection as the shot clock was winding down. The Chiefs claimed an early 23–11 lead, before the Dolphins got back into the game with an 11–0 run, fueled by a pair of Joe Girard three-pointers. Le Moyne fell behind by nine points midway through the second half but took a two-point lead after a 26–15 run, capped by an Andre Dearing triple. Mike Montesano's free throws broke a tie and gave the Dolphins a 73–71 lead with 24 seconds to play. However, Spencer Staggs hit two charity tosses with seven seconds on the clock to send the game to overtime. Two Lowell starters had fouled out in regulation, which appeared to favor Le Moyne, and Dearing's tree-point play gave the Dolphins a 77–75 lead with 3:12 to play. That was the Dolphins' final basket of the game. Dan Sandel, who had game-highs of 26 points and 18 rebounds, fouled out diving for a loose ball with Le Moyne trailing 78–77. The Chiefs closed the game on a 12–2 run and secured an 87–79 victory, bringing the Dolphins' season to an abrupt end having lost two straight at home and four of their last five games. [422] [423]

Dan Sandel finished his collegiate career with 896 rebounds, fourth in Le Moyne program history, and 1,138 points. [424] Joe Girard ended his career as the Dolphins' all-time leader in three-point field goals with 289. [425]

Dan Sandel was named 1994 first-team All-NECC and Mike Montesano was named to the second team. [425] Joe Girard was named 1994 first-team District I Academic All-America in February [426] and National Academic All-America in March 1994. [425]

The Dolphins won the NECC tournament in 1996, their final season in the league, and that earned them a berth in the NCAA tournament, where they were seeded 5th in the Northeast Region. Although they entered the tournament with a 24–5 record, [427] the Dolphins suffered a 30-point loss in the first round at the hands of Franklin Pierce. [68] : 29  The 24 wins matched the highest total in program history, previously achieved in 1987–88.

In 1996, the Dolphins joined the Northeast-10 Conference (NE10), where they remained until beginning reclassification to Division I as a member of the NEC in 2023. During their 26 seasons over a span of 27 years in the NE10 (the 2020–21 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), Le Moyne won four regular-season conference championships and two conference tournaments.

Despite a losing record in their first NE10 season, Le Moyne won the conference tournament and advanced to the 1997 NCAA tournament, their second straight appearance. The Dolphins lost in the first round to Saint Rose. [68] : 30 

Dave Paulsen era

Le Moyne followed up their 1997 NCAA tournament appearance with a 20–8 season in 1997–98, under first-year head coach Dave Paulsen. [428] Their 14–6 conference record was good enough for a share of the NE10 regular-season crown. [427] The Dolphins' season ended with a loss to Assumption in the conference tournament semifinals. [429] Le Moyne had finished in a three-way tie for first place with Assumption and Stonehill, who was upset in the tournament quarterfinals. Assumption won the conference tournament and was the only NE10 team selected to play in the 1998 NCAA tournament.

Steve Evans era

Although it was an exhibition game, the Dolphins nevertheless attracted national attention when they defeated Syracuse at the Carrier Dome on November 3, 2009. Syracuse was ranked no. 25 in the preseason AP poll at the time. However, Christopher Johnson's three-pointer with 8.3 seconds remaining gave Division II Le Moyne an 82–79 road victory over a Division I national power. [430] Syracuse had finished the previous season 28–10, ranked no. 13 in Division I, and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Once the season started, the Orange recovered. They were 2009–10 Big East Conference regular-season champions and reached the Sweet 16 of the 2010 NCAA tournament.

Despite an exit from the 2014 NE10 tournament in the semifinals, [429] Le Moyne received and at-large NCAA tournament bid. As the 6th seed in the East Region, the Dolphins were defeated by Saint Anselm. Le Moyne finished the 2013–14 season 17–12. [427]

Coach Patrick Beilein leads Dolphins to three straight NCAA tournaments

Patrick Beilein, son of John Beilein, who coached the Dolphins from 1983 to 1992, took the head coaching reins in 2015. After a losing record in his first season, Beilein produced an era of success for Le Moyne basketball with three straight NCAA tournament appearances. Beilein made his debut as the Dolphins' head coach in an exhibition game against Michigan, coached by his father, at the Crisler Center. More than 70 members of the Beilein clan traveled from around the country to attend the game, which Michigan won, 74–52. [431]

In 2016–17, the Dolphins won the NE10 Southwest Division title and had the best regular-season record in the entire conference. Despite being upset in the NE10 tournament semifinals, [429] Le Moyne's 22–6 record was good enough to secure an at-large berth as the no. 1 seed in the East Region of the NCAA tournament, hosting the first three rounds. However, the Dolphins suffered a first-round loss to Merrimack, 72–68, in overtime in front of the home crowd. [432] For his efforts, Beilein was named 2017 NE10 coach of the year. [433]

Le Moyne's 2017–18 season was perhaps the best in program history by all measures. They achieved a new high in wins with 27, [427] won the NE10 Southwest Division title, had the best conference record of any NE10 team, won the conference tournament [429] and secured a no. 1 seed and hosting rights at the NCAA tournament and advanced to the Elite Eight. The Dolphins were an astounding 18–2 in conference play and entered the NE10 tournament with a 21–6 record and blitzed their way to the title. They defeated Stonehill by 39 points in the quarterfinals and topped Merrimack, 83–55, in the semifinals. The title game was a 69–63 victory over Northeast Division champion Saint Anselm. Le Moyne's Isaiah Eisendorf was named tournament MVP. Coach Beilein collected his second straight NE10 coach of the year award. [429]

Playing at home in the NCAA tournament, Le Moyne scored victories over Jefferson, Saint Rose and Bloomfield. The Elite Eight was held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the Dolphins fell to West Texas A&M, 87–73. Entering the NCAA tournament, Le Moyne was ranked no. 24 nationally in the season's final Division II coaches poll. [67] : 92  [434]

Le Moyne won another NE10 Southwest Division title in 2018–19. The Dolphins were upset at home in the conference tournament semifinals by Merrimack, 84–77, in overtime. [429] Nevertheless, Le Moyne's 18–10 record [427] earned them the no. 3 seed in the East Region at the NCAA tournament. The Dolphins were matched up in the first round with St. Thomas Aquinas, coached by former Le Moyne assistant coach, Tobin Anderson. [435] After the Dolphins built a 19-point lead, the Spartans staged a furious comeback to earn a 61–59 victory and eliminate Le Moyne from the tournament. [436] After the season, Beirlein left Le Moyne to become the head coach at Division I Niagara. [437]

Nate Champion era

Nate Champion, a Le Moyne alumnus, was hired as the new head coach in 2019. [438] [439] The Dolphins won their fourth straight NE10 Southwest Division title and had the best NE10 regular-season conference record in Champion's first season. Le Moyne bowed out at home in the NE10 tournament quarterfinals to New Haven, 75–73. Champion was named NE10 coach of the year, the third straight season the award has been won by a Le Moyne coach. [429] The 2020 NCAA tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reclassification to Division I

In April 2022, Le Moyne College president Linda LeMura revealed that the school had hired a consultant to assess the feasibility of reclassifying to Division I and had begun internal discussions regarding the potential impact. [440] In September 2022, a social media post of a sports journalist indicated that the decision to move to Division I had been made, but no official announcement would come from Le Moyne, until it had officially been invited to join a conference. [441]

On May 10, 2023, Le Moyne announced that the school would begin a transition to Division I, joining the Northeast Conference (NEC). [442] The Dolphins officially became a Division I program and a member of the NEC on July 1. [443]

As a team transitioning from Division II, Le Moyne will not be eligible to participate in the NCAA Division I tournament until 2028, since there is a required four-year transition period. However, effective for the 2023–24 academic year, NEC teams transitioning from Division II became eligible to participate in the NEC tournament during the entirety of their transition periods. [444] Prior to the conference's rule change, NEC teams were eligible for the conference tournament only during their third and fourth transition years. As a result, Le Moyne became eligible for the 2024 NEC tournament.

Darrick Jones Jr. hit a three-pointer from the top of the key early in the Dolphins' season opener at Georgetown for Le Moyne's first points scored as a Division I program on November 7, 2023. Ball State transfer Kaiyem Cleary led the Dolphins with 11 points, all in the second half, and seven rebounds. Georgetown used a 9–2 run to take a 12–5 lead early in the game. The Hoyas extended the lead with an 8–0 run that made the score 20–7. After a brief flurry led by Jones, Trent Mosquera and Mike DePersia got the Dolphins within single digits at 28–19, the Hoyas closed the first half with a 19–4 run that gave them a 47–23 halftime lead on their way to a 94–57 victory. Jones and Luke Sutherland each contributed nine points for Le Moyne in the losing cause. [445] [446] [447]

Le Moyne used first-half runs of 16–2 and 20–2 to build a 47–15 lead and never looked back on their way to a 105–46 victory, their first as a Division I program, over Division III SUNY Canton in their 2023–24 home opener on November 13, 2023. Five Dolphins had double-figure scoring games led by Kaiyem Cleary with 21 points. Cleary shot 8 for 10 from the field, while adding seven rebounds and two steals in just 16 minutes. The Dolphins shot 32 for 37 on two-point field goals for the game, including 15 for 16 in the first half. [448] [449]

Le Moyne recorded its first victory over a Division I opponent as a Division I program, an 80–70 win at Cal State Northridge on November 21, 2023, in their opening game of the Golden State Hoops Jam, a multi-team event sponsored by Pacific. Luke Sutherland led the Dolphins with 24 points and five rebounds. Le Moyne started five graduate students for the first time in the program's history, and they responded by sprinting to an 11–4 lead to start the game. After Le Moyne fell behind, 15–12, Mike DePersia (eight points, nine assists, four rebounds and three steals for the game) sparked a 19–2 run with a pull-up jump shot. The Matadors could not get closer than three points behind the rest of the way. The Dolphins closed out the game with strong free-throw shooting, finishing the game 31 for 34 from the charity stripe. [450] [451] [452]

Kaiyem Cleary scored 43 points on January 27, 2024, to break Le Moyne's single-game individual scoring record, first set on January 7, 1955, [453] [454] and the Dolphins cruised to an 87–74 victory over LIU. Cleary's 43 points were the most scored by a player in regulation and the third most scored by a player in a single game up to that point in the Division I season. Cleary was 14 for 25 from the floor, including 6 for 10 from beyond the arc, and shot 9 for 9 from the free-throw line. He also led Le Moyne in rebounds with seven and had a pair of blocked shots. With Le Moyne trailing, 46–45, early in the second half, Cleary scored 13 points over six and a half minutes to spark a decisive 20–4 run that put the Dolphins ahead, 65–50. [455] [456] [457]

Kaiyem Cleary scored with 45 seconds left in regulation to tie up Le Moyne's home game with Central Connecticut on February 15. After the Blue Devils took a one-point lead in overtime, the Dolphins scored the final six points of the extra session, including a baseline jump shot by Cleary with 1:24 to play that gave Le Moyne the lead for good. Cleary finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots. With the win, Le Moyne clinched a berth in the NEC tournament. [458] [459] [460]

Entering the final day of the regular season, Le Moyne had the opportunity to earn the no. 4 seed in the NEC tournament and home-court advantage in the NEC quarterfinals with a win. If the Dolphins were to lose, the no. 4 seed would go to the winner of the regular-season finale between Fairleigh Dickinson and Wagner scheduled for the same day. [461]

Le Moyne claimed the no. 4 seed in the NEC tournament and home-court advantage in the NEC quarterfinals with a 74–58 win at Saint Francis on March 2. Luke Sutherland led the Dolphins with 22 points, shooting 8 for 10 from the field and 3 for 4 from beyond the arc, seven rebounds, a career-high eight assists, two blocked shots and one steal. After the Red Flash took a 3–0 lead, Le Moyne went on a 10–0 run, keyed by five points from Nate McClure, and led the rest of the way. [462] [463]

Kaiyem Cleary was named first-team All-NEC. Luke Sutherland was named to the all-conference second team. [464]

Powered by Luke Sutherland's 22 points, Le Moyne cruised to an 82–61 wire-to-wire victory over Fairleigh Dickinson in the program's Division I postseason debut on March 6. The Dolphins opened the game with three three-pointers to take a 9–0 lead just 1:45 into the contest. [465] [466] [467]

After Le Moyne jumped out to an early 13–4 lead in the NEC semifinals on March 9, Merrimack's defense got the Warriors back into the game, and a 19–3 run in the later part of the first half helped them build a 28–20 lead at intermission. The Dolphins cut the deficit to three with 14:47 to play on a put-back by Kaiyem Cleary. The teams traded three-pointers over the next three minutes, until Samba Diallo's layups on consecutive possessions extended Merrimack's lead to seven points. The Dolphins responded with a 6–2 run to get within three points at 40–37 with 8:14 to play. An 8–2 Warriors run gave them a nine-point lead with 6:45 on the clock, but Le Moyne responded with a pair of three-pointers by Luke Sutherland to pull within three again with 5:42 to play. After each team had two empty possessions over the next two minutes, Bryan Etumnu was fouled on a layup and completed the three-point play, sparking a 9–2 Merrimack run that put the game away. The Warriors' 61–51 victory ended the Dolphins' inaugural Division I season. Sutherland had 23 points and eight rebounds for Le Moyne, [468] [469] [470] and he was named to the NEC All-Tournament Team. [471]

NCAA tournament seeding history

The NCAA began seeding the Division II tournament with the 1988 edition.

Years → '88 '96 '97 '14 '17 '18 '19 '20
Seeds →35661135 [f]

Between 1958 and 1987, the NCAA chose eight or nine schools as hosts for the College Division/Division II regionals. These teams played their regional semifinal games and (if they won) their regional final (Sweet 16) games at home during years the tournament included 32 teams. In some years, there were 36 teams with seven regions having four teams and one region having eight teams. In eight-team regions, the host school might have played as many as three tournament games at home, if it was designated as being in the section given home-court advantage for the regional final. A host school effectively had the privileges of what would later be identified as a no. 1 seed. However, factors such as availability and quality of facilities, expected fan support and travel arrangements entered into the choice of a host school. By the 1980s, the four teams in each region, including the top seed, each submitted competing bids to the NCAA for the right to host, which meant the fourth-seeded team in the region could be selected to play at home. In addition, teams generally played in regions that reflected the locations of the schools. Therefore, if the two best teams in the College Division or Division II were near each other, it is likely only one of them would be selected to host. Thus, the hosts were not necessarily the top eight teams. Nevertheless, Le Moyne was one of the eight host schools for the 1965 and 1969 NCAA tournaments.

The 1966 NCAA tournament included 36 schools, four more than the previous season. Seven of the eight regions had four teams as had previously been the norm. The Northeast Region had eight teams divided into two sections. Le Moyne was selected to host the four games in Section B of the Northeast Region. However, as of the time Le Moyne was chosen as a host, the Dolphins had not yet been extended a bid to play in the tournament. Le Moyne agreed to host regardless of whether it was participating. [100] The Section A winner had the right to host the regional final, [472] [473] which means Le Moyne, which ultimately did receive a tournament bid, would have played the regional final on the road had they advanced that far. This effectively conferred upon Le Moyne the rights and privileges of a no. 2 seed within the region. However, since Le Moyne was in an eight-team region, it would have needed to win one more game than all 28 teams in four-team regions to reach the national quarterfinals, which makes the extra game similar to a play-in game such as the First Four in the present-day Division I tournament.

Games against higher-division opponents

Starting with Le Moyne's inaugural 1948–49 season through the end of the 1955–56 season, the final season before the NCAA split into the University Division and the College Division, the Dolphins were classified by the Associated Press (AP) as a small-college (non-major) program. During that time, Le Moyne played 59 games against major programs, as classified by the AP. The results of such games are shown in the table below.

On several occasions, the Dolphins, playing as a College Division or Division II team, recorded victories over University Division or Division I teams. Le Moyne played 58 such games, going 29–29, and won at least one in each of their first 13 seasons as a College Division program, beginning with the NCAA's split into divisions for the 1956–57 season through the end of the 1968–69 season. Details of games played against Division I/University Division opponents are shown in the table below.

Rivalry with Siena

Before the Dolphins had ever played a varsity basketball game, Siena was identified as Le Moyne's chief rival. "BEAT SIENA!" was the front-page headline of the school newspaper on November 24, 1948, 13 days before the Dolphins' inaugural varsity game, scheduled to be played at home against Siena. [7] A pep rally was held the night before the game and attended by the team, the head coach, the athletic director and, of course, the cheerleaders. Those organizing the rally had someone dressed as an Indian, Siena's team nickname at the time, appear to be tossed into the bonfire and burned. [8] The rivalry was acknowledged by Siena shortly after the teams began playing, [619] perhaps, in part, because the teams met in the 1951 National Catholic Invitational Tournament (NCIT).

Siena won the first-ever matchup, 41–39, on December 7, 1948, [6] and went on to take the first five games between the teams, the fourth and fifth of which went to overtime, before Le Moyne broke through with a win at home followed by another victory in the NCIT, which was played on Siena's home court.

On March 5, 1955, in Syracuse, a fistfight between Le Moyne's Dan Cavellier and Siena's Tim Hill with two minutes to play in the game between the two teams resulted in the ejection of both players. [520] [620]

In preparation for the Dolphins' December 1, 1956 season opener at Siena, a 20-car motorcade from Syracuse to Albany was organized to transport Le Moyne supporters to the game, and plans were made to have a Le Moyne cheerleader dressed as a deceased Siena Indian and carried into the arena in a funeral procession with the pep band playing a dirge. [621]

Despite the heated rivalry between the two schools, when Siena head coach Dan Cunha resigned after the 1959–60 season, [622] Le Moyne head coach Tommy Niland remarked that he regarded Cunha as a very good friend who was a fine coach and would be hard to replace. [623] Cunha withdrew his resignation in July 1960, [624] and was 1961 MECAA coach of the year. [625]

After Le Moyne's Gary DeYulia felt he was unnecessarily shoved out of bounds in the NCAA tournament-bound Dolphins' regular-season finale in DeWitt against Siena on February 28, 1965, a brief melee broke out between the rival teams, and a Siena player was promptly slammed to the floor by a Dolphin. It appeared it might spread into the stands where the Siena fans were sitting, but cooler heads quickly prevailed. [626] The behavior of the Le Moyne players and fans in connection with the melee was criticized in Siena's school newspaper. [627]

After 21 seasons as Siena's head basketball coach, Dan Cunha resigned for a second time in July 1965. [628] Four months later, Cunha was hired as Le Moyne's new dean of men, a position with no athletic duties. [629]

In 1976, Siena reclassified to Division I, while Le Moyne remained a Division II program. Despite Siena's move, there were plans for Siena to play at Le Moyne on January 15, 1977, and for the Dolphins to continue their series with their archrivals, reduced to one game per season. However, Siena notified Le Moyne in September 1976, that it would be unable to keep its commitment for that date. Le Moyne had no open dates on which a game with Siena could be scheduled. [166] As a result, the two teams did not meet during the 1976–77 season, ending their annual series which started in the 1948–49 season, with the first varsity game Le Moyne ever played. The teams did not meet again for 11 years.

Le Moyne and Siena played one game annually between the 1987–88 and 1992–93 seasons, and Siena won all six of those contests. Le Moyne's 2023 reclassification to Division I creates the possibility that this rivalry may be rekindled. It has been 32 years since the teams last met in an official game. The Dolphins defeated Siena, 73–71, in an exhibition game in November 2017, at Loudonville. [630] [631]

Le Moyne Events Center (1962–present)

The Le Moyne Dolphins presently play their home games on Ted Grant Court in the 2,637-seat Le Moyne Events Center; the seating capacity for basketball reported to the NCAA is 2,000, [1] but more seats would be avaiable, if bleachers were set up at both the east and west ends of the building, which is possible for basketball games. [713]

Ground was broken on construction of the Events Center in March 1961, as part of the larger Henninger Athletic Center, and the arena opened on December 1, 1962, with a varsity basketball game featuring Le Moyne versus archrival Siena. [714] The varsity game against Siena was the nightcap of a doubleheader that opened with Le Moyne's freshman team defeating Powelson Business Institute, 65–47. [715] The arena underwent a significant renovation in 2016, [716] and reopened on October 12 of that year.

The Events Center hosted regional games of the 1965, [84] 1966 [100] and 1969 [121] NCAA College Division tournaments.

Although the Dolphins were classified as a small college program by the Associated Press until 1956, when the school became an NCAA College Division member, Le Moyne played 74 games against major/University Division programs during their initial 10 years, going 25–49. The Dolphins were led by head coach Tommy Niland, who mentored the team for its first 25 years. Their team captain for the first three seasons, Don Savage went on to play in the NBA.

Head coach Tommy Niland was named MECAA coach of the year for both 1959 and 1960. The Dolphins were 18–6 in 1958–59, reaching the Sweet 16 of the 1959 tournament, and 13–5 in 1959–60, finishing fourth in their region in the 1960 tournament.

The history of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball from 1963 to 1966 includes the Dolphins' three consecutive appearances in the NCAA College Division tournament. Led by sophomore Gary DeYulia and senior Tom Cooney, Le Moyne reached the Sweet 16 of the 1964 tournament. Tom Mullen and Dan Frawley provided a strong inside game to complement DeYulia's scoring, and the Dolphins repeated as conference champions but lost in the first round of the 1965 tournament. Head coach Tommy Niland was named conference coach of the year in both 1964 and 1965. As a senior, DeYulia was conference player of the year and teamed with Mullen to lead the Dolphins to a berth in the 1966 tournament, with regional games hosted by Le Moyne for the second straight year. Le Moyne finished third in Section B of the Northeast Region. The Dolphins were 52–17 between the 1963–64 and 1965–66 seasons, including a 7–2 record against University Division opponents.

The history of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball from 1966 to 1969 includes two appearances in the NCAA tournament by the Dolphins. After Le Moyne was plagued by academic suspensions and struggled to an 11–10 record in 1966–67, the Dolphins rebounded to earn an at-large bid to the 1968 NCAA tournament under the leadership of senior captain Gerry McDermott. However, with McDermott slowed by a late-season leg injury, the Dolphins fell in the first round. Junior Tom Downey led Le Moyne to a share of the Middle Eastern College Athletic Association (MECAA) championship and a bid to host the regionals of the 1969 NCAA tournament. However, the Dolphins' shooting went cold in the second half of their first-round game, and they were eliminated, despite strong efforts from Chuck Brady and Matt Fallis. Le Moyne's strong play against University Division opponents continued, as the Dolphins won two games against such foes in each of the three seasons.

The history of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball from 1969 to 1973 includes the final four years of the coaching reign of Tommy Niland, Le Moyne's head coach since the inception of the program in 1948, and the career of Phil Harlow, one of the Dolphins' all-time greatest players. Le Moyne did not earn a postseason berth but did win the Middle Eastern College Athletic Association (MECAA) championship in 1972–73, Niland's final season, with an undefeated league record. In 1969–70, the Dolphins failed to earn a win against a University Division opponent, the first time since the 1956 split of the NCAA into divisions they were unable to do so. In 1970–71, Le Moyne suffered their first losing season in 19 years. Harlow finished his collegiate career as Le Moyne's all-time scoring leader.

This is the 76th season of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball.

The history of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball from 1973 to 1979 includes the coaching reign of Tom Cooney. Although Le Moyne did not have a losing record in any of the six seasons under Cooney and had an overall record of 82–63, the Dolphins failed to reach the postseason. Rick May became the first Le Moyne player to record 1,000 career rebounds as a senior during the 1973–74 season. The Middle Eastern College Athletic Association (MECAA), the conference in which Le Moyne had been a member since 1955, dissolved following the 1975–76 season. Coach Cooney's first recruiting class turned out to be his best, producing a 15–7 record as seniors in the 1976–77 season. They were led by John Lauer and Pete Hogan, both of whom ended their careers in the top six among Le Moyne's all-time leading scorers. Although the Dolphins were not selected for the 1977 NCAA tournament, Le Moyne athletic director Tommy Niland believed they deserved a bid, and that the best 32 teams were not chosen. The Dolphins played their first ever game against Division I power Syracuse, located only four miles away, during the 1977–78 season. Jene Grey, who was selected in the 1979 NBA draft, finished his Dolphins career as the program's second leading all-time scorer and rebounder.

The history of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball from 1979 to 1983 includes the head coaching reign of Mike Lee. His inaugural season was the worst in the history of Le Moyne men's basketball, and the Dolphins repeated the feat with an even worse season in Lee's sophomore campaign. Le Moyne's final season under Lee was their best during his tenure. Players recruited by Lee, including Wright Lassiter, Paul Galvin and Bobby Chestnut, would go on to play keys roles in more successful Dolphin teams after Lee's departure.

The history of Le Moyne Dolphins men's basketball from 1983 to 1988 includes the first five years of the head coaching reign of John Beilein. The Dolphins joined the Mideast Collegiate Conference (MECC) in Beilein's first season and went undefeated in league play to win the conference regular-season championship. However, Le Moyne failed to win the MECC tournament and were not selected for an at-large bid to the 1984 NCAA tournament. The 1983–84 season marked the first time in program h istory that Le Moyne won 20 games. Scott Hicks and Pete Jerebko, both of whom would become Le Moyne Hall of Famers, arrived as freshmen in 1984. Despite a solid 19-win campaign in 1984–85, the Dolphins failed to earn an at-large berth to the tournament. After a losing season marred by injuries, illness and suspensions, Le Moyne bounced back with their second 20-win season in 1986–87. However, after falling in the MECC tournament, Le Moyne was not selected for an at-large bid to the 1987 NCAA tournament. Len Rauch, who would go on to finish his college career as Le Moyne's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, arrived for his freshmen season in 1987. Hicks, Jerebko and Rauch led the Dolphins to the regular-season co-championship of the MECC, the conference tournament title and a berth in the 1988 NCAA tournament. Le Moyne finished with a program-best 24–6 record in 1987–88, and that season's team was later enshrined in the Le Moyne College Athletic Hall of Fame.
