Alfred "Butch" Lee was the most valuable player of the 1977 NCAA Final after leading Marquette to the national title.
Lee was a first-team consensus All-American as a senior, being named to All-American teams by the Associated Press, United Press International, The Sporting News, Basketball Writers and Basketball Weekly and was named 1977-1978 Player of the Year by AP (The Rupp Award), UPI (The Naismith Award) and Basketball Weekly. His 17.7 points per game paced the team in scoring.
While helping MU to the national title in 1977, he received second-team All-America status.
He recorded 1,735 points during his career, still good for the No. 2 spot all-time at Marquette, and his 84.8 free throw percentage is tops all-time. He stands second on the school's career chart in field goals with 666 and first in field goal attempts with 1,403. His 628 points in 1976-1977 represent the second-highest total by a Marquette junior.
The Atlanta Hawks made him a first-round draft selection and he also played for Cleveland and Los Angles during his pro career.
To recognize his impressive accomplishments, Marquette retired Lee's number 15 jersey.
