The late Bob Boozer will become the third Wildcat to enter the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame when he is inducted on Friday.
Boozer, the only two-time consensus All-American in K-State history, will be inducted posthumously at the ceremony, which will take place at the Arvest Bank Theatre at Midland in Kansas City. He joins his legendary coach Tex Winter and Rolando Blackman.
Boozer, who died in 2012 at age 75, is already a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame for his part in the record-setting 1960 U.S. Olympic Team.
His teammate, Don Matusak, called Boozer the greatest K-State player ever.
