Scoop Jardine

Antonio Stephen "Scoop" Jardine (born August 9, 1988) is an American former professional basketball player who last played for the Niagara River Lions of the NBL Canada.

Jardine was raised by his single mother Antoinette Richardson, along with his siblings Shantale and Shauniqua in Southwest and South Philadelphia.

He would start nine games—including a career high 18 points against Northeastern on December 30, 2007—before being removed from the lineup after he was suspended for the January 27, 2008 game against Providence.

[6] A healthy Jardine would return to the Syracuse lineup in his redshirt sophomore season to split time with Brandon Triche at the point guard spot.

[7] Jardine was named Sixth Man of the Year for the 2009–2010 NCAA men's Division I regular season by The Sporting News.

In one of the most successful seasons in Syracuse history, Jardine and his teammate Kris Joseph were the senior leaders and huge contributors.

Jardine's numbers dropped a bit by averaging 8.9 points and 4.9 assists, but still led the Orange to a Big East regular season title.

Despite all of his effort, Jardine and the Orange fell short of their Final Four and National Championship goals as they lost in a tight game against Ohio State 77–70.
