One of the best to represent the Bradley basketball program, both as a student-athlete and a coach, Stan Albeck passed away at the age of 89 on Thursday.
As an undergraduate student on the Hilltop, Albeck spent three seasons with the Braves from 1950 to 1952 and again during the 1954-55 season following a two-year stint in the Army.
During his senior campaign, the Chenoa, Illinois, native helped lead BU to the 1955 NCAA Elite Eight and was named to the NCAA All-West Region after averaging 13.7 points during Bradley's three-game tournament run. The guard keyed the Braves to victories against Oklahoma City and SMU before tallying 16 points in the Elite Eight versus Colorado.
