Alumni of the Week – Glen Rice (5/25 – 5/31)

by Lance Callihan 25. May 2009 03:09

This week we profile Glen Rice.  Rice played basketball for the Maize & Blue from ‘85-‘89.  He led Michigan to the 1989 NCAA National Championship and earned the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament while scoring a tournament record 184 points.  Rice went on to be drafted fourth overall by the Miami Heat.

 

In the NBA, Rice would go on to score 56 points in a game and win the 3 point contest in ‘95, earn the MVP award for the all star game in ‘97; win a NBA Championship in ‘00 with the Lakers.

 

In 2005, Rice’s number 41 was retired by Michigan in a ceremony at Crisler Arena.  UMGoBlue recognizes Rice as a Wolverine Immortal.  He now resides in Miami.  His son, Glen Rice Jr., plans to play at Georgia Tech as a freshman next season.
