Saint Mary's College will honor former men's basketball player, Matthew Dellavedova, by retiring his number, "4" on Feb. 15.

Dellavedova becomes only the second basketball player in SMC Athletics history to have his number retired. Tom Meschery, class of '61, No. 31, was the first basketball player to have his number retired. Meschery's number is also retired by the National Basketball Association's Warriors organization.

Currently on the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, Dellavedova will return to McKeon to see the banner bearing his number raised.

As a Gael, Dellavedova was a three-time All-West Coast Conference selection, the 2012 WCC Player of the Year and a two-time Capital One Academic All-American.

Dellavedova made huge plays as a Gael, including a half-court buzzer beater to defeat BYU in 2012.

He is recognized as the school's all-time leading scorer (1,933), but he has also made the most three pointers (288), has the highest free throw percentage (.860), recorded the most assists (778), has played in the most games (136) and has started the most games (133). C. Mitchell
