( Bill Bradley ) As a freshman, Bradley sank 57 successive free throws, a record unmatched by any other player, college or professional. As a sophomore, he led the league in rebounds, field goals, free throws, and total points, and, when he fouled out after scoring a record-breaking 40 points in an NCAA tournament game with Saint Joseph's in Philadelphia, was given an unprecedented ovation.
In his junior year, he made 51 points against Harvard, more than the entire opposing team had scored before he was taken out, and his 33.1 points-per-game average that season set an Ivy League record.
In his senior year, when he was captain, he led Princeton to the highest national ranking it had ever had in basketball. The Tigers placed third behind UCLA and Michigan in the NCAA tournament, as a result of an 118-82 victory over Wichita State in the consolation game of the semi-finals. In the Wichita game, Bradley scored 58 points, an NCAA tournament record.
John McPhee's A Sense of Where You Are (1965) is a book-length profile of Bradley at age 21.Bradley graduated with honors and was awarded a Rhodes Scholar at Worcester College, Oxford University. Bradley also served as captain of the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic basketball team in 1964.
