Jay Murphy

A two-year team captain, the Meriden, Conn., product led BC to an 88-36 record in his four seasons, and was a three-time BIG EAST honoree. He currently ranks sixth on the school's career scoring list (1,795 points) and seventh on the career rebounding list (763 rebounds).
Murphy was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 31st pick in the 1984 NBA Draft. He played four seasons in the NBA - two each with the Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Bullets - before concluding his illustrious career in Europe (France and Italy).
Inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999.
