Hot Rod Hundley Statue Dedication Set

The statue, created by Morgantown artist Jamie Lester, will be on display in front of the WVU Coliseum Blue Gate, opposite of the Jerry West statue.

Hundley averaged 24.5 points per game during his three-year varsity career at West Virginia University from 1955-57 where he earned consensus All-America honors in 1957.

Hundley led the Mountaineers to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances during what was considered the “Golden Era” of WVU basketball.

The Charleston, West Virginia native holds the school record for points in a game with 54 scored against Furman on January 5, 1957, and he also once scored 62 points in a freshman game against Ohio University in 1954.
