Former Cajun to become ninth member enshrined in LABC Hall of Fame
Ebron, a three-year letterwinner for head coach Beryl Shipley from 1970-73, was an honorable mention All-American in 1972. A two-time, first-team All-Southland Conference, Ebron also earned All-Gulf States Conference honors and was a two-time All-Louisiana selection. He helped lead the Ragin' Cajuns to two straight NCAA Division I Tournament appearances and a third-place finish in the NCAA Division II Tournament.
He finished his three-year career as the fourth-leading scorer (currently seventh) with 1,683 points and is the Ragin' Cajuns all-time leading rebounder with 1,064. His 19.4 career scoring average currently ranks sixth in school history, his 12.2 career rebounding average is second and his career 57.9 percent field goal accuracy is third.
Ebron averaged 15.6 points and 10.2 rebounds in 1971 before posting career-highs with 23.0 points and 14.2 rebounds in 1972. He closed out his career with a 19.5 scoring and 12.3 rebounding average for the Ragin' Cajuns before becoming a fourth-round selection by the New York Knicks in the 1974 NBA Draft.
He had six games of 20 or more rebounds, including a single-game high of 28 against Northwestern State on Jan. 10, 1972.
Ebron joins former Ragin' Cajuns teammate Dwight "Bo" Lamar (1969-73) in the Louisiana Hall of Fame along with former Ragin" Cajuns players Dean Church (1960-65), Marvin Winkler (1966-70), Jerry Flake (1965-69) and Andrew Toney (1976-80). Shipley, a 1986 inductee into the Hall of Fame, is one of three coaches enshrined along with legendary coach J.C. "Dutch" Reinhardt (1931-57) and Bobby Paschal (1978-86).
The Louisiana Basketball Hall of Fame is one of the major projects of the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches.
The Hall of Fame was created in 1975 to honor former great basketball players and coaches from Louisiana universities and colleges.
The Hall of Fame display was originally located in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at LSU in Baton Rouge. In 2008 the Hall of Fame display was moved to Louisiana's historic Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge. It contains plaques and mementos of persons elected to the Hall of Fame, along with other historic basketball memorabilia.
