Lloyd Walton was a member of some of the best men's basketball teams in MU history and was Al McGuire's top facilitator during the 1970s. Walton helped MU to an NCAA runner-up finish in 1974 with a national title game loss to N.C. State and ended his career in 1976 with the top three single-season assist totals in program history.
Walton averaged 11.6 points and 5.5 rebounds over the course of his three seasons and was awarded Basketball Weekly Second Team All-America honors as a senior. He helped MU to a record of 76-11 while starting all 87 games and leading Marquette to three NCAA tournament appearances. He ended his tenure 14th in scoring with 1,006 points and currently sits 45th in points and fifth in career assists (480).
Walton, the eighth former player under McGuire to earn induction, was a third round selection (40th overall) of the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1976 NBA draft and spent five seasons with the Bucks and Kansas City Kings.
