Former Maryland star to be inducted into National Collegiate Basketball Hall of FameUniversity of Maryland Athletics
KANSAS CITY - Former Maryland star Tom McMillen headlines a list of seven inductees selected for enshrinement in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2013.
Joining McMillen are 1977 national consensus player of the year Marques Johnson of UCLA and coaching legends Gene Keady and Rollie Massimino. Bob Hopkins of Grambling and contributors George Raveling of Nike and George Killian of FIBA round out the class. In addition, the barrier-breaking 1963 Loyola University (Chicago) team will become the first team inducted.
McMillen led Maryland to a 73-17 record in the early 1970s. He averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds for his career. He was a first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference player twice and was the most valuable player of the 1972 National Invitation Tournament championship game - a 100-69 victory over Niagara.
A 6' 11" power forward/center, McMillen was a member of the 1972 United States Olympic team that won a silver medal after a controversial finish in the gold-medal game against Russia. He went on to be a Rhodes Scholar and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1987-93.
