Top 10 Houston Cougars basketball players of all time

2. Don Chaney (1965-68)

Alongside Hayes, Chaney was one of the first black players to play for the Cougars. During his career, Chaney led the team to one Sweet 16 and two Final Four appearances. He also played all 40 minutes in their upset win against UCLA in “The Game of the Century.” Chaney totaled 1,133 points, 475 rebounds and 204 assists as a Cougar, and his jersey No. 24 is to be retired soon. 

Don Chaney and Houston Basketball are synonymous. A trailblazer, role model, champion and coach! #BHM x @UHCougarMBK pic.twitter.com/XPY1vaU9uf
