HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Southern Miss men's basketball video coordinator Anthony Winchester will be immortalized in WKU's Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday. Ceremonies include a 10 a.m. Homecoming brunch inside the basketball arena, followed by halftime recognition at the 3 p.m. football game.
Winchester was announced in May as a member of Jay Ladner's inaugural staff. He previously served one year as a graduate assistant at Loyola Marymount following a lengthy pro career in Spain and Puerto Rico, and was on the WKU staff in a variety of roles from 2008-10 while recovering from an injury.
The Austin, Indiana, native was an AP Honorable Mention All-American and Sun Belt Player-of-the-Year as a senior in 2006, the Freshman of the Year as a rookie and a two-time first-team All-SBC pick who accounted for 1,732 career points (14.1 ppg), ranking him among the top 10 scorers in WKU history. He shot 47% from the floor (nearly 42% on 3-pointers — the second best in team history) for his career. He led the club in scoring his last two seasons (18.2 in '05 and 18.6 in '06) and was also effective on the boards, leading the team in rebounding as a junior (7.2 rpg).  Three of his teams won 20 or more games, winning two SBC division titles, one league tourney, and earning three postseason berths.
Fans will have an opportunity to meet Winchester and the rest of the Southern Miss staff and players next Thursday, Oct. 24, at the annual Hardwood Club Tip-off Event at Brewsky's. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and free hot dogs, chips and soft drinks will be provided. The squad also has a home exhibition game on Tuesday, Oct. 29 versus Mississippi College.
