Wes Unseld Tribute on "Welcome to the Ville - The Podcast"
June 16, 2020 | Men's Basketball
Former University of Louisville men's basketball players Butch Beard, Wade Houston and Jerry King join "Welcome to the Ville" for a tribute to the late Wes Unseld. Unseld, a member of the University of Louisville and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, passed away earlier this month at the age of 74.
Â
Unseld's number 31 is one of just four retired numbers in UofL history. Â In three seasons at UofL (1965-68), he amassed 1,686 points (11th at UofL) and 1,551 rebounds (2nd at UofL). Â A consensus All-American during his junior and senior years, Unseld is one of only five Cardinal players to pull down over 1,000 rebounds in his career. Â
A native of Louisville who graduated from Seneca High School, he began his senior season with a 45-point effort against Georgetown College, a UofL single-game scoring record that stands today.Â
