THE OFFICIAL ATHLETICS SITE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER

Wilson was a four year letter winner in basketball. He helped UW-W win the Wisconsin State University Conference championship in 1984, and earn a berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III tournament in 1983 and 1984. Both squads advanced to the final four, with the 1984 team winning the national title.  That 1983-84 team compiled the second most wins, and the second best winning percentage, in school history. He had 295 rebounds in the championship year, with 19 in one game in the final four. His season total still ranks third in the school record book and the haul of 19 is the third best single game total ever. Wilson is one of just twenty-five players in school history to appear in at least one hundred games. Known for his defense, Wilson had the misfortune to play before blocked shots, another of his specialties, was an official category. He earned honorable mention all-conference recognition for the 1983-1984 season.   Wilson is a William Horlick High graduate and earned letters in both basketball and men’s volleyball. He was named to the all-county, and third team all-state. He received the NAACP Youth Service Award in 1995 and is now the director at the Dr. Martin Luther King Center in the city of Racine, WI. Elected to the Hall of Fame 2010.
