Wichita State basketball icon, Dave Stallworth, died at the age of 75 on Thursday. Stallworth is one of five Shocker players to have their jerseys retired by WSU.
Stallworth started the rich history for WSU basketball, scoring 46 points at the Roundhouse on Feb.16, 1963 to earn their first win over a no. 1 ranked team, besting Cincinnati 65-64 to end their 37-game winning streak.
Under Stallworth’s leadership, the Shockers made their first NCAA Tournament in 1964 and their first Final Four appearance in 1965. He was named to the Associated Press All-America teams during his final two years at WSU.
