Tarleton State University Athletics

Tarleton's all-time single-game scoring leader Burney heard his name called as the 176th member of the Athletics Hall of Fame. He became the 42nd member of the men's basketball program to join the ranks. It only took two seasons for Burney to establish himself as one of the elite players in Texan Basketball history. He averaged 21.6 points per game in his career and, at the time of his induction, was No. 13 all-time in scoring with 1,102 points. Both of his seasons at Tarleton have him placed among the top-10 scoring averages in school history. His 2001 season has him at No. 6 (22.1 ppg) and 2000 is No. 10 (21.1). His 50 points against Abilene Christian on Feb. 1, 2001, is the best single game performance in the history of Tarleton. For his career, he averaged 21.6 points per game on a .432 shooting percentage from the field, .409 percentage from downtown, and .781 percentage from the free throw line. Burney was a two-time team MVP for Lonn Reisman, as well as a two-time All-Lone Star Conference First Team selection. He was also a back-to-back Daktronics All-Region award winner.
