Former Loyola guard Ben Richardson has signed a contract to play professionally in Poland, the program announced Friday.
Richardson will play for MKS Dabrowa Gornicza, which went 17-18 last season in the top tier of the Polish Basketball League.
Richardson, a 6-foot-3 guard from Overland Park, Kan., played four seasons for the Ramblers. He was the Missouri Valley Conference defensive player of the year last season and helped Loyola reach the Final Four.
His signature game came in the NCAA tournament, when he scored a career- and game-high 23 points against Kansas State in the Elite Eight to send the Ramblers to their first Final Four since 1963.
As a senior, Richardson averaged 6.9 points, 3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 40 percent on 3-pointers.
