While not a prolific scorer -- he averaged 12.1 points through his four year career -- Greg Ebsen became more known for feeding some of the all-time Blue Devil basketball greats. During Stout's 1969 national tournament qualifying season, Ebsen set a school record in assists, dishing off 119 to the likes of Mel Coleman and Cal Glover, then broke the record the next year with 126.
Ebsen will be remembered by the way he could run the floor and the offense, then hit someone inside with the look-away pass.
But Ebsen was capable of scoring, said his coach Dwain Mintz. "When he scored, he scored high," Mintz said. Ebsen finished up his career with 854 points and is currently ranked 28th on the all-time scoring list. He finished with 310 career assists. Ebsen was steady from the line, shooting a career 81 percent.
Ebsen's best individual year came in 1970 when he averaged 16.5 points and was named to the all-WSUC team.
Ebsen currently lives in Papillon, Neb.
