Episode 10: Wes Unseld Tribute - a podcast by Louisville Cardinals

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.

 

Unseld's number 31 is one of just four retired numbers in UofL history.  In three seasons at UofL (1965-68), he amassed 1,686 points (11th at UofL) and 1,551 rebounds (2nd at UofL).  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.  



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.
