Former Wolverine to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame

The Michigan Wolverines basketball program will see its first alum indicted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, as it was announced this weekend that former two-time All-Big Ten forward Rudy Tomjanovich has received the call to the hall.

The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 25.1 points and 14.4 rebounds in three seasons in Ann Arbor from 1967-1970. This included a 30.1 points and 15.7 rebounds per game season in ‘69-’70.

Tomjanovich’s collegiate play made him one of the most desirable players headed into the 1970 NBA Draft where he was selected by the San Diego (Houston) Rockets.
