Hall of Honor
One of the top Niagara scorers of all-time, Marshal Wingate (1968-72) averaged 17.1 points per game, 5.5 rebounds per game and shot 49.4 percent from the field in 85 career games at Niagara. He surpassed the 1,000-point mark in a 73-72 win over Canisius in his senior season; he concluded his career ranking in the top-10 in the scoring list with 1,456 points and is now ranked 14th all-time. Wingate was a member of Niagara's first NCAA Tournament team in 1970, playing in all three games as a sophomore. He was a key figure on the 1972 team that advanced to the NIT finals where NU fell to Maryland despite a 30-point game by Wingate. He scored 92 points in Niagara's four-game NIT tournament run. Wingate was a fourth-round choice of the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1972 NBA draft and was inducted into the Niagara Athletics Hall of Fame in 1984.
