Who was the last  13th Region player to suit up for the Big Blue?



BONUS:   

There are three 13th Region players who have their jerseys hanging from the rafters of Rupp. Can you name all three?





EXTRA HARD BONUS :   

There is another 13th Region player that played for UK back in the late thirties and then had a short career with the NY Knicks . He was one of the first "big men" in the 1940's in pro basketball  and was the starting center for the first NY Knicks team. He was one of the most dominating players in KY State Tournament history , scoring 57 percent of his teams points and being named State Tournament MVP in leading his team to the 1936 state title. Both he and his brother were named All State Tournament team in '36 and both received scholarships to play at UK. Both brothers played together  on the 1939-1940 UK basketball team.   Can you name this man(and his brother) ?
