The numbers and NIT championship earn the recognition. Time to retire #53.

It would be a well deserved tribute to one of the greats. Greg Sanders was honored to be a Bonnie. The Bona family should honor him.

Send #53 to the Reilly Center rafters...best pure shooter in program history...key cog in that 1977 run to the NIT title...

I was at Niagara from '77-81 and saw Greg Sanders destroy us on several occasions. I cannot believe SBU has not retired the jersey/number of it's all-time leading scorer. It's a no brainer.

The leading scorer of a traditionally great basketball team needs to be honored with his number 53 being retired!

He's earned it. Played fair and square and lived up to Bona's values. Give it to him.

So many memories. I wish OTH would do interviews with them all from that year.

Mr. G was awesome. Bona should recognize the contributions of its all time leading scorer in men' B-ball and retire his number.

Leading scorer in Bona hostory -NIT MVP - do we need more reasons to retire his number?

Let's see...he graduated on time, is still the all time leader in points scored, was the MVP of the only national championship game won by the Bonnies. Time to hang up #53.
