Hall of Famer Bob Becker
United States   #11 - Bob Becker [ID #201233]     PG
Home Town: Indianapolis, Indiana   Indiana           High School: Columbus High School           PG sg

Notes: Best player in Kent State history. #1 in scoring with 3,000+, #1 in assist with 1,000+. An undrafted free agent who won player of the conference in 2046 for V.14, his production wasn't enough. Although the team found success during his tenure, they lacked a strong inside presence to balance out the perimeter attack. Two all conference guards with whom he shared the backcourt with were Harrison and Colon.

Notes: A baller who led Kent State to multiple tournaments in D2 and D3. Solid all-around 3. 2000 point scorer and solid defender. While not as good defensively (or rebounder) as fellow HOF inductee Wayne Lowery, he was more polished on the offensive end.

Notes: Kent State's all-time leading scorer and free throw shooter. Help lead the 2043 team to the D3 Sweet Sixteen in his senior year.
