Ben “Red” Kramer was a member of the men’s basketball team from 1933-37. The team captain of the undefeated 1935-36 squad that went 25-0, Kramer and his peers helped turn the school into a basketball powerhouse in the 1930’s.
The school’s first All-America player, Kramer helped LIU record an amazing four-year mark of 103-6, losing no more than three contests in any season. In 1937, the forward was awarded the Haggerty Award, given annually to the most outstanding player in the Metropolitan New York area.
Kramer was inducted posthumously, having passed away in February 1999.
