Archie Dees, who won two Big Ten MVPs at Indiana, passed away early Monday morning at age 80.
Dees led Indiana to Big Ten titles in 1957 and 1958 and is one of just three players ever to win back-to-back Big Ten MVPs.
“Our condolences go out to Archie’s family and all of his friends,” IU coach Tom Crean said in a statement. “Archie Dees will be remembered for many great things and being a part of Indiana Basketball Royalty will be one of them. When Archie was around, we always knew we were around one of the all-time best.
