Media Alert: NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 1, 2024/THOMAS BRICE/– Sportzwire Radio the #1 global radio station is proud to induct into the Sportzwire Radio Hall of Fame Dan Byrnes Monday February 5th at 7:30pm EST.
Dan Byrnes, a 6 foot 6 forward played for the Brooklyn College Kingsmen men's basketball team the first and only team of the City University Of New York Athletic Conference otherwise known as (CUNYAC) in any sport to have played in the NCAA Final Four in 1982.
Dan Byrnes, a Brooklyn College graduate in 1984 played for the Kingsmen from 1980-83 including playing a key role on the 1982 Kingsmen team which finished #3 in the nation along with winning the men's basketball Eastern regional championship by defeating Roanoke College.
The Brooklyn College Kingsmen Men's Basketball Final Four team were inducted into the Brooklyn College Athletics Hall of Fame in June 2020 with the ceremony taking place in December 2022.
The 1981-82 Brooklyn College Kingsmen Men's Basketball team finished the regular season with an 18-8 record defeating #1 ranked the College of Staten Island which despite having a loss in the CUNYAC semifinals helped the team land an at-large bid in the NCAA Division III tournament. The Kingsmen went on to defeat Ithaca College, CSI then Roanoke College to win the Eastern Regional championship at a packed Roosevelt Hall gymnasium.
While the Kingsmen lost to defending National Champion SUNY Postdam by a single point in the semi-final game. The next day the Kingsmen defeated California's Stanislaus State University in overtime to claim the #3 slot nationally.
"I feel a great sense of pride to induct Dan Byrnes into the Sportzwire Radio Hall of Fame. Dan Byrnes role on the Brooklyn College Kingsmen men's basketball team goes far above his statistics on the court as Dan Byrnes played a valuable role on the team for his toughness, work ethic, selflessness, and leadership on the first and only team in any sport to have ever played in a NCAA Final Four from the CUNYAC. Dan Byrnes is not only a hall of fame player but also a hall of fame person off the court because of the example he has set throughout the years in being the voice which has kept the legacy of the Brooklyn College Kingsmen men's basketball team alive and well. It was once said that the only hall of fame Dan Byrnes and the Brooklyn College Kingsmen men's basketball team would be in would be the Brooklyn College Athletics hall of fame. However, not only is Dan Byrnes officially a Sportzwire Radio hall of famer but eventually the entire 1982 Brooklyn College Kingsmen men's basketball team will be inducted into the Sportzwire Radio hall of fame. I want to congratulate Dan Byrnes on being inducted into the Sportzwire Radio Hall of Fame."--Thomas J. Brice, owner of Sportzwire Radio
