Darin Miller took his academics as seriously as his basketball during his career at Wichita State from 1993-97.
On the court, he helped new coach Randy Smithson revive the program with a 14-13 record in 1996-97, the program's first winning season since 1989.
Off the court, he earned Academic All-District and NCAA Post-Grad Scholar honors, in addition to a spot on the athletic directors honor roll in all eight of his semesters. He claimed the team's Shelley Cox Academic Leadership Award all four seasons.
Miller, from Wellington, started 65 games as a Shocker.
