PHILADELPHIA - Former La Salle men's basketball standout Lionel Simmons was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City this past November.

The 2016 Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be nationally televised on ESPNU on Thursday, Dec. 15 beginning at 6:00 p.m. 

Simmons scored 3,217 career points - the third-most in NCAA history - while a member of the Explorers from 1986-90. The Naismith, Wooden, AP and NABC National College Player of the Year in 1990, as well as a consensus first-team All-American, Simmons became the only player in NCAA history to score more than 3,000 points and notch more than 1,100 rebounds.

While leading the Explorers to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances (1988-90) and earning three MAAC Player of the Year awards, he set the NCAA record for most consecutive games with double-figure scoring (115).
