Shockers Mourn Hoops Legend Stallworth

WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State mourns one of its all-time men's basketball legends, Dave Stallworth, who passed away Thursday morning at the age of 75.

Nicknamed "the Rave," Mr. Stallworth was a three-time All-American for the Shockers over parts of four seasons from 1961-65. He led the program to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 1964, and his No. 42 jersey is one of five hanging from the rafters of Charles Koch Arena.

The 6-foot-7 Stallworth averaged 24.2 points a game during his career and ranks third on the Shockers' all-time scoring list with 1,936 points (despite appearing in just 80 games).
