One of the greatest players ever to don a Marquette basketball jersey, Dean Meminger helped Marquette to a glittering 78-9 record over his career including a 46-0 mark at the Milwaukee Arena.

Meminger was the team's leading scorer for two years, averaging 21.2 points in 1971 and 18.8 points in 1970, and he was selected by his teammates as the Most Valuable Player of the '71 team which went undefeated during the regular season (26-0) and advanced to the NCAA Mideast Regional. He closed out his college as the school's No. 2 all-time leading scorer with 1,637 points.

Meminger was the MVP of the NIT in 1970, in which Marquette topped St. John's for the championship. He was also named to the All-Tournament team of the NIT and the All- Tournament teams of the 1969 and 1971 NCAA. He holds the top two school seasonal marks for free throws and his 493 charity tosses during his career are the most ever by a Marquette player.

Following his graduation, he was a first-round NBA draft pick by New York. He went on to enjoy a seven-year pro career with New York and Atlanta.
