Ricky Spicer was a guard on the men's basketball team from 1987-90. The Milwaukee native helped lead the team to the 1989 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title and NCAA Division III national championship – the second in program history. During his three-year career, the Warhawks boasted a record of 68-17 (.800) including a 29-2 mark in 1989. A two-time All-WIAC pick, Spicer was named the league's Player of the Year in 1990, was a two-time All-Region selection and earned All-America honors in 1990 from the National Association of Basketball Coaches and Basketball Times. Spicer was the first player in program history to earn First Team All-America honors from two associations in one season. He was selected as the Basketball Gazette National Division III Player of the Week once during his career. A true point guard, Spicer still holds the program records in career assists (531) and steals (258), as well as free throws made in a game (18). By the end of his career, Spicer held top ten marks in the program record book in steals per game (3.04), total points (1,259), points per game (14.8), field goal percentage (.531) and free throw percentage (.810).
