K-State star Bob Boozer enters College Basketball Hall as winner at every level

Don Matuszak could talk about Bob Boozer for hours. They played basketball together at Kansas State in the late 1950s and remained close friends until the day Boozer died at age 75 a little more than four years ago.

Together, they made countless memories that Matuszak will always cherish.

But one thing sticks out above everything else for him when it comes to Boozer, and he is quick to point it out.

“Winning,” Matuszak said. “That’s what I remember most about Bob Boozer. We did a lot of it. We won the Big Eight as juniors and went on to the Final Four.
