KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Two-time Ohio State All-American John Havlicek, Indiana star Quinn Buckner and longtime coach Lou Henson are among the newest class to be enshrined in the College Basketball Hall of Fame.
There ceremony will take place Nov. 20 at the Arvest Bank Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri.
A native of Martins Ferry, Havlicek was a member of the 1960 Buckeye team that won the NCAA national championship and was a star with the Boston Celtics.
The latest group of eight basketball luminaries was revealed Tuesday during a news conference at the College Basketball Experience in downtown Kansas City. They join a fraternity that welcomed Shaquille O’Neal and Grant Hill this past year.
Others selected for the 2015 class include former Kansas State star Rolando Blackman; Dayton coach Don Donoher; Langston coach C. Felton “Zip” Gayles; Long Beach State star Ed Ratleff; and North Carolina All-American Charlie Scott.
