One of the best point guards to ever suit up in a North Texas uniform, Pat Hicks is the all-time leader in assists in school history.

A wizard at the point guard position, Hicks finished his career with 526 career assists, nearly 200 more than the next closest in history. He led North Texas in assists in three straight seasons and had three of the top-four single season assist totals in history.  He had 171 assists in 1982-83, 156 the prior season and 154 as a sophomore in 1980-81.

Hicks played all four seasons with the all-time leading scorer at North Texas, Kenneth Lyons, and no doubt was one of his biggest facilitators. Hicks still holds the school record for assists in a single game with 19, turned in against Loyola Marymount in 1981. That same season, Hicks dished out 16 assists and finished his career with three games of 10 or more assists.
