Tony Oludewa Skinn (born February 8, 1983) is a Nigerian American former professional basketball player, and a former college basketball player, who played starting guard for the George Mason University Patriots. Skinn is in his second season as an assistant coach for the Louisiana Tech men's basketball team. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Skinn migrated with his family to the United States at the age of two. Skinn has since been a local of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
In his senior season, Skinn averaged 12.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. The season was marked by the Patriots' surprising run to the Final Four. He scored a season-high 23 points and hit the game-winning three-point shot with 10.8 seconds left, in GMU's ESPN BracketBusters game against Wichita State on February 18, 2006, ultimately landing the Patriots in the USA Today/ESPN Top 25 for the first time in school history. The Patriots posted a 23-7 record during the regular season and while they did not win the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament title, they were awarded an at-large bid as an 11 seed.
In GMU's run to the Final Four, he scored eight points against defending champion North Carolina in the second round, 14 points in a rematch against Wichita State in the Sweet Sixteen, 10 points against top-seeded UConn in the Elite Eight, and 14 points against eventual back-to-back tournament winners Florida Gators.
