Quinn Buckner got most of the accolades, but Bobby Wilkerson had a lot to do with the imposing defense of Indiana’s undefeated 1976 national champs. The 6’6” Wilkerson also dished out a team-high 171 assists that year, the fourth-best season total in school history.

Wilkerson’s aggressive defense served him well in the NBA, where he averaged 1.3 steals a game for his career. He played seven workmanlike seasons with the Sonics, Nuggets, Cavs and Bulls, averaging 10.1 points a game overall.
