Joining Warner this weekend will be Kevin Figaro, Payton Townsend, Alonza Allen and Brad Boyd.

Warner and Allen played a major role during the 1983-84 season as the Cajuns advanced to the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden. They also helped UL reach the NCAA tournament in 1981-82 after winning the Southland Tournament and returned to the Big Dance in 1982-83. Both went on to be drafted in the 1984 NBA draft with Warner being selected by Seattle and Allen picked by the L.A. Clippers.

Warner played for UL from 1980-84, amassing 1,762 points in his four-year career. Throughout his career, he was tabbed on the NABC District VIII All-America team, the AP All-America squad, the Sporting News All-America Squad and a Basketball Weekly All-South honorable mention. He earned All-Southland honors in 1982-83 and was a three-time All-Louisiana Second team selection.

In the historic 97-76 win over Santa Clara that put UL in the NIT Final Four, Warner scored a game-high 22 points and had 11 rebounds.

He is school’s all-time leader in games started with 117 and ranks 5^th all-time in steals (153), 16^th in rebounds (682) and 19^th in assists (274).

Figaro ranks 13^th all-time on the Cajuns’ list with 1,474 points. During his senior season he was named First Team All-Louisiana, First Team All-Southland and the 1981 SLC All-Tournament Team. He was drafted by Atlanta in the fourth round of the 1981 NBA draft.

Townsend ranks 26^th all-time after scoring 1,240 points from 1968-72. He still holds the school record for single season field goal percentage. In the 1970-71 season, Townsend knocked down 62.6 percent of his shots (127-203). Playing alongside the legendary Bo Lamar in the 1970-71 season, Townsend helped guide the Cajuns to a 25-4 record, wins in the NCAA College South Regional and a trip to the NCAA College Tournament.

In 1971-72, Townsend and UL were named Southland Conference Champions after going 23-3 with an 8-0 mark in league play. The team earned a berth to the NCAA Midwest Regional and defeated No.10 Marshall, 112-101, before falling to No. 4 Louisville, 84-88. He also holds the school record for most rebounds in a half after grabbing 16 against Arkansas in 1969.

Allen, who played all four years with Warner, finished his career with 1,211 points. His 118 career steals ranked 6^th all-time at the end of his career and now stands at 17^th all-time. In the NIT win over Santa Clara, Allen scored 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting and pulled down seven boards.

Boyd, UL’s career leading three-point shooter, finished his career with 1,130 points. He scored 813 of his total from three-point range, going 271 of 777 from beyond the arc (.349). In 2003, he was named First Team All-Louisiana and Second Team All-Sun Belt after leading the team with 16.8 points per game. He led the team in assists in 2001-02 (110, 3.5 apg) and 2003-04 (104, 3.6 apg).
