University of Michigan Hall of Honor
Rudy Tomjanovich
- Induction:
- 1979
Rudy Tomjanovich used an outstanding jump shot and a knack for grabbing rebounds to average 30 points and 15 rebounds per game and earn All-America honors in 1970. Tomjanovich’s accomplishments in Crisler Arena’s first three seasons (1967-70) made him one of Michigan’s basketball immortals. Over the course of three seasons, the 6-7 forward corralled 1,039 rebounds, the
highest career total in Michigan history, and twice led the Big Ten in rebounding (1968-69 and 1969-70). Additionally, he led the team in scoring in each of his three seasons, scoring 1,808 points in his career, seventh best on Michigan’s career list. Tomjanovich still holds Crisler Arena records for single-game scoring and field goals (48 points and 21 field goals vs. Indiana on Jan. 7, 1969) and single-game rebounding (27 in Michigan’s first game in Crisler Arena vs. Kentucky on Dec. 2, 1967). On Feb. 8, 2003, Tomjanovich’s No. 45 jersey became just the second to hang from the Crisler Arena rafters, joining U-M legend Cazzie Russell.
