COLLEGE
Nate Green played at Indiana State from 1996–97 through 1999–2000 and became the program’s defining two-way guard of that era, appearing in 114 games while starting throughout his four-year career and finishing with 1,182 career points.
As a freshman in 1996–97, Green stepped straight into a major role, starting 25 games and averaging 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.1 steals per game while establishing the defensive playmaking that would become a trademark of his Sycamores career.
He continued to build in 1997–98, starting all 27 games and averaging 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, then made another jump as a junior in 1998–99 with 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.3 steals per game, while shooting 38.3 percent from three-point range across the season.
Green’s breakout senior season in 1999–2000 delivered the year that put Indiana State back on the national stage, as he averaged 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game and led the Sycamores to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 21 years, while earning Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year honours in the same season.
That 1999–2000 campaign also produced some of the most dominant defensive numbers in school history, as Green recorded 92 steals for the season and averaged 2.9 steals per game, and he tied Indiana State’s single-game record with eight steals against Eastern Illinois on December 19, 1999.
Indiana State entered the 2000 NCAA tournament and faced Texas in the first round, and in that game Green finished with seven points and five rebounds as the Sycamores’ long-awaited return to the national tournament ended in a 77–61 loss.
For his full Indiana State career, Green’s legacy extended beyond scoring, as he finished fourth in school history in assists with 496, fourth in blocks with 109, and became the program’s all-time co-leader in steals with 240, matching the career total set by Larry Bird.
