One of the most prolific players in the history of the USM men’s basketball program, Tim Bonsant finished his career with 1,616 points and presently ranks fifth on the Huskies All-time scoring list. In addition to being named the LEC Player of the Year for the 1990-91 season, he earned NABC All-New England and Division III All-ECAC honors.

Still ranked in the top ten in seven career statistics categories, including a school record 150 blocked shots, Bonsant led the Huskies in scoring during the 1989-90 and 1990-91 seasons and in rebounding three straight years. Over his four-year career, Bonsant helped the Huskies to an 85-32 record.

During the 1988-89 season when the Huskies advanced to the NCAA Division III Final Four, Bonsant averaged 13.8 points and 8.0 rebounds a game. He followed the next season with career highs in scoring (19.8 ppg) and rebounding (9.8 rpg), and another trip to the NCAA regional tournament.  He finished his career with a third straight trip to the NCAA tournament in 1991 while averaging 16.6 ppg and 8.7 rpg.
