Anthony Hickey (born November 22, 1992) is an American basketball player who plays the point guard position, most recently for the Louisiana State University Tigers. On May 13, 2014, after his junior season, it was announced that Hickey was transferring schools.[1] In the 2012–13 NCAA Division I season he was a sophomore who finished as that year's third-highest steals-per game leader in the nation (2.93 spg).[2] In high school, Hickey was named the 2011 Kentucky Mr. Basketball winner while playing for Christian County High School.[3]
As a freshman for LSU in 2011–12, Hickey averaged 8.9 points per game, 3.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.[3] He started 31 of 33 games and played in a first round loss in the 2012 National Invitation Tournament. The following year, Hickey was suspended for a time in the beginning of the season for university-related disciplinary reasons, which drew some national attention.[4] His absence was short-lived, and throughout his sophomore season he has ranked toward the top of the national leader board in steals per game average. Head coach and LSU alumnus Johnny Jones, who played for the Tigers from 1980 to 1984 and registered 136 steals himself, conceded that his own spots in the LSU record book were dropping because of Hickey: "As tenacious and ferocious as he is guarding the basketball, I think it says a lot about him. I think it's wonderful. I think it's great. I think there were only two areas – steals and assists – that I was still kind of lingering around in. But I'm dropping pretty steadily because of the play of this guy."[5]
In August 2015, Hickey joined Polish club Asseco Gdynia.[6]
