The Pacific-10 Conference will honor 10 former men’s basketball players with their induction into the Pac-10 Men’s Basketball Hall of Honor during the Pac-10 tournament in March.

They are Mike Bibby (Arizona), Jeremy Veal (Arizona State), Earl Robinson (California), Kenya Wilkins (Oregon), Dave Gambee (Oregon State), John Arrillaga (Stanford), Reggie Miller (UCLA), John Block (USC), Eldridge Recasner (Washington) and Paul Lindemann (Washington State).

Gambee is a two-time All-American and All-Pacific Coast Conference selection. He is one of five OSU players to earn All-American honors twice in their careers.

Following the 1957-58 season, the 6-foot-7 forward left his mark on the record book as the school’s career leader in points scored (1,468), third in rebounds (828), rebounding average (10.6) and free throws made (400). He recorded five 30-plus scoring games, including a career-high 35 points in a 79-69 victory over Yale in 1957.

After 12 seasons in the NBA where he averaged 10.6 points and 5.2 rebounds, Gambee retired following the 1969-70 season. He was inducted into the State of Oregon Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Oregon State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991.
