Few Jayhawks can match the resume of Lovellette: a National Player of the Year, 20-time All-American, NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, and a national champion. And no one in NCAA history can claim to be a national champion while leading the country in scoring... except Lovellette, who averaged 28.4 points per game as a senior in 1951-52 as the Jayhawks went 28-3, winning the national title. Per game stats are what they are, obviously, but the Jayhawks as a team averaged only 64 points per game that year. It’s maybe the most remarkable season in NCAA history, as Lovellette added 12.
#KU50: 3 Clyde Lovellette
