Bowling Green, Ohio – Throughout the 2015-16 Bowling Green State University men's basketball season, the BGSU athletics department will take a look back at each decade over the men's basketball program's history as part of the Centennial Season celebration leading up to the Centennial Game on Jan. 23, 2016 versus Kent State.
MAC Championships
The Falcons took little time in making an impact in the Mid-American Conference (MAC), as BGSU won three MAC Championships within its first 10 years in the league. After joining the MAC in 1953-54, the Falcons went on to win the MAC Championship in 1958-59, 1961-62 and 1962-63.
The 1958-59 team roster consisted of James "Jim" Darrow, Charles McCampbell, Ron Parsons, Jim Routson, Rex Leach, Jim McDonald, Frank Wade, Dick Abele, George Burmeister, Ed Harling, Ben Williams, Dick Kuzma, head coach Harold Anderson and assistant coaches Dale Herbert and Warren Scholler. The Falcons went 18-8 overall that season and 9-3 in the league play to be crowned the regular season co-champions. BGSU then went on to defeat Miami 76-63 in the MAC Playoff game to win the MAC Championship and advance to the NCAA Championship Tournament. In the NCAA Tournament, the Falcons fell to No. 20 Marquette 89-71 in the first round played in Lexington, Ky.
Three years later the Falcons won the MAC Championship again in 1961-62. The Falcon roster which was comprised up of Denny Curran, Elijah Chatman, Mel Gilbert, Houston Chapman, Nate Thurmond, Tom Baker, Bob Carbaugh, Pat Haley, Dan Knepper, Lester Gast, Bill Reynolds, Dennis Reed, Lyle Pepin, Wavey Junior, Howard Komives, Bob Dawson, Dave Wait, Ted Norris, head coach Harold Anderson and assistant coaches Dale Herbert and Warren Scholler, posted an overall record of 21-4 on the season and went 11-1 in MAC play. The 1961-62 team was the first team to be ranked in the top-10 nationally, as he Falcons were ranked in the top-10 in each of the last 16 weeks of the season and reached as high as No. 7 in both February and March. BGSU was matched up with Butler in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and dropped a heart breaker to the Bulldogs who edged the Falcons 56-55 in Lexington, Ky.
The following season the Falcons won their second straight MAC Championship, as the 1962-63 team went 19-8 overall and 9-3 in conference play. Captained by Nate Thurmond, Coach Anderson's squad was made up of Houston Chapman, Clyde Patterson, Elijah Chatman, Mel Gilbert, Tom Baker, Wavey Junior, Bob Carbaugh, Roy Wilhelm, Bill Gast, Ted Norris, Dan Knepper, Bob Dwors, Mike Mattausch, Norm Limpert, Pat Haley, Lyle Pepin, Howard Komives, Bill Reynolds and assistants Warren Scholler and Dale Herbert. In the NCAA Tournament, their third trip in five years, the Falcons posted a 77-72 win over Notre Dame in the first round in Evanston, Ill. In the second round, Bowling Green was handed a 70-67 loss to No. 8 Illinois in East Lansing, Mich., before the Falcons fell to No. 6 Mississippi State 65-60 in the regional consolation game one day later.
NCAA Tournament Play for the Falcons
The Falcons continued their trend of playing in the postseason in 1955-65, as BGSU made a total of three trips to the NCAA Championship Tournament in 1958-59, 1961-62 and 1962-63, after playing in the NIT six times from 1943-1954.
BGSU's first-ever trip to the NCAA Championship Tournament came in 1958-59, as the Falcons fell in the first round of the national tournament to No. 20 Marquette 89-71.
The Falcons returned to the NCAA Tournament in both 1961-62 and 1962-63. BGSU again lost in the first round in the 1962 NCAA Tournament, falling to Butler 56-55. However, the Falcons made history with their first-ever NCAA Tournament win the following year, as BGSU upended Notre Dame 77-72 in the first round of the 1963 championship tournament. The Falcons would move on to the second round where they would lost to No. 8 Illinois 70-57, before dropping their final game of the season to No. 6 Mississippi State 65-60 in the regional consolation game.
Falcon All-Americans
With all of BGSU's success from 1955-65, a trio of players were named All-Americans in Jim Darrow, Nate Thurmond and Howard Komives.
Darrow was recognized as an AP and UPI First-Team All-American in 1960 when he scored a total of 705 points on the season and averaged 29.4 points per game, which at the time were both program records. He scored 52 points versus Toledo on Jan. 13, 1960 and then matched that scoring output with 52 points once again just over a month later against Marshall on Feb. 27, 1960. Both are still program records to this day for the most points in a single game by a Falcon player.
He also totaled 46 points versus Hillsdale on Dec. 1, 1959, which ranks sixth in BGSU history, and had a total of 39 points at Miami (Ohio) on Feb. 6, 1960.
Darrow still holds the BGSU men's basketball record with 22 made field goals in a game, which he did against Hillsdale on Dec. 1, 1959 and again versus Marshall on Feb. 27, 1960. His 715 career made field goals is also the most in the Falcons' 100-year history.
Thurmond received All-American recognition in 1963 in which he was named to the Sporting News and UPI First-Team and the All-American Second-Team. That season, 1962-63, Nate "The Great" led BGSU in rebounding with 452 boards, an average of 16.7 per game, both of which are still BGSU records to this date. He also scored 536 points, an average of 19.9 points per game that season, as the Falcons won their second straight MAC Championship.
The big man in the middle for the Falcons set a new BGSU record with 31 rebounds versus Mississippi State in the NCAA Championship Tournament game on Mar. 16, 1963.
Komives set a number of scoring records during his time at BGSU and was named as an API and UPI Third-Team All-American in 1964. Over the 1963-64 season, Komives scored a total of 844 points, a new BGSU record that still stands today, and averaged a program high 36.7 points per game that season which is the most by a Falcon in a single season in the program's history. He set the record for most field goals made in a season with 292 that year, which is still the most by a Falcon in a single season in the program's 100-year history.
He still holds the BGSU record for most free throw attempts in a single season with 303 in 1963-64 and is ranks first in men's basketball history with 270 made free throws during that same season.
Komives scored 40 points or more in a single game nine times during the 1963-64 season, including 50 points versus Niagara on Feb. 15, 1964. He totaled 49 points on Feb. 22, 1964 against Western Michigan, 47 points vs. DePaul on Mar. 5, 1964 and 45 points at Marshall on Mar. 7, 1964. Komives poured in 44 points versus Ohio on Feb. 8, 1964, 43 points on Jan. 25, 1964 against Findlay, 42 points versus Western Michigan on Jan. 11, 1964 and 41 points at Notre Dame on Dec. 10, 1963. He also tallied 40 points at Loyola (Chicago) on Feb. 18, 1964.
Falcon Greats from 1955-65
On the heels of a decade that saw a number of Falcon legends born in 1945-55, BGSU had a number of Falcon greats suit up for Bowling Green College (BGSU) from 1955-65 in James Darrow, Nate Thurmond, Howard Komives, Robert "Bob" Dwors, Rex Leach, Charles "Chuck" McCampbell, Tom Baker, Eugene "Gene" Ray and Crystal Ellis. Thurmond, Komives and Dwors were all named to the All-Anderson Team in 2011.
Darrow was a 1960 All-American and a three-time NABC All-District selection with honorable mention honors in 1957-58, and second-team recognition in both 1958-59 and 1959-60. A three-time All-MAC First-Team selection in 1958, 1959 and 1960, Darrow was named the BGSU Team MVP in all three seasons as well. He led the team in scoring all three years with 22.1 points per game in 1957-58, 21.1 points per contest in 1958-59 and 29.4 points per game in 1959-60, which at the time was a BGSU record for the most points in a season with 705 on the year.
He finished his three-year career at BGSU with 1,740 career points, the most by any Falcon at the time of his graduation, which still ranks fifth all-time on BGSU's career scoring list. His 52 points versus both Toledo on Jan. 13, 1960 and Marshall on Feb. 27, 1960 still ranks as the most points by a Falcon in a single game, while his 22 made field goals versus Hillsdale on Dec. 1, 1959 and against Marshall on Feb. 27, 1960 still ranks as the most made baskets by a Falcon in BGSU history.
Darrow still ranks second in BGSU history in season scoring average with 29.4 points per game in 1959-60 and fourth all-time with the most points in a season with 705 that same year. He is second in career scoring average with an average of 24.2 points per game and ranks fifth in most career points by a Falcon with 1,740 career points.
Thurmond was a 1963 All-American and a two-time MAC Champion leading the Falcons to back-to-back conference championships in 1961-62 and 1962-63. Named to the NABC All-District Second-Team in both 1962 and 1963, Thurmond was a three-time All-MAC First-Team selection and a three-time BGSU Team MVP from 1960-63. Playing with Darrow in 1959-60 and Howard Komives in both 1961-62 and 1962-63, Thurmond only led the Falcons in scoring in 1960-61 with 17.8 points per game. However, he led BGSU in rebounding all three years he suited up for the Falcons with 449 rebounds in 1960-61, 394 boards in 1961-62 and a program-high 452 rebounds in 1962-63.
Nate "The Great" set a BGSU single game record with 31 rebounds in the NCAA Tournament game versus Mississippi State on Mar. 16, 1963 and still holds the record today. He also still holds BGSU records for the most rebounds in a season with 452 in 1962-63, the highest rebounding average in a single season with an average of 18.7 rebounds per game in 1960-61 and is BGSU's all-time career rebounds leader with 1,295 career boards.
Thurmond totaled 1,356 career points in his three years at BGSU, which ranks 18th all-time in BGSU men's basketball history. His 17.8 points per game career scoring average still ranks eighth all-time in BGSU history, while his career rebounding average of 17.0 boards per game still ranks first in the Falcons' 100-year history.
Komives, perhaps the greatest scorer in BGSU history, was a 1964 All-American, a three-time NABC All-District selection, including first-team honors in 1964, and a three-time First-Team All-MAC honoree in 1961-62, 1962-63 and 1963-64. Tabbed the BGSU Team MVP in 1963-64, Komives led the Falcons in scoring all three years he played for BGSU averaging 21.0 points per game in 1961-62, 20.2 points per contest in 1962-63 and a stellar 36.7 points per game in 1963-64.
A two-time MAC Champion, Komives scored a BGSU record 844 points in 1963-64, which still stands today. That season he recorded nine games with 40 points or more, which is still the most by a Falcon to date, which included 50 points versus Niagara on Feb. 15, 1964 and 49 points against Western Michigan on Feb. 22, 1964.
Komives finished his career as BGSU's all-time scoring leader with 1,834 points after his three-year career as a Falcon, which still ranks third all-time on BGSU's career scoring list. His 844 points in 1963-64 ranks first in BGSU history for the most points in a single season by a Falcon, while his single season scoring average of 36.7 points per game in 1963-64 still ranks first in BGSU history. Komives' career scoring average of 25.8 points per game still ranks first in BGSU history, while he ranks second all-time in BGSU history with a career free throw percentage of 84.7 percent.
Dwors was named to the All-MAC First-Team in 1964-65 in which he led the Falcons with 23.0 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game. He totaled 553 points and 251 rebounds in 1964-65, both team highs, to be named the BGSU Team MVP in 1964-65. Dwors also led the Falcons in rebounding with 205 boards in 1963-64.
Dwors scored a career-high 41 points at Syracuse on Jan. 29, 1965 and also tallied 40 points at Marshall later that season on Mar. 6, 1965. His 23.0 points per game still ranks seventh all-time in BGSU's single season scoring average. He played for the Falcons from 1959-62.
Before Thurmond dominated the backboard, there was Rex Leach who played for the Falcons for three years in 1956-57, 1958-59 and 1959-60. Named to the 1956-57 All-MAC Second-Team, Leach led the Falcons in scoring with 339 points, an average of 14.7 points per game, and in rebounding with 299 rebounds on the season. He also led BGSU in rebounding with 217 boards in 1958-59 and 192 rebounds in 1959-60.
Leach still ranks eighth all-time on BGSU single season rebounding list with his 299 rebounds in 1956-57. He also ranks eighth in BGSU history with 708 career rebounds and is sixth all-time with a career rebounding average of 9.8 rebounds per contest.
McCampbell, who played for BGSU from 1956-59, was named to the All-MAC First-Team in 1958-59 after receiving second-team honors in 1957-58. Tabbed the BGSU Team MVP in 1956-57, McCampbell led the Falcons in rebounding with 238 boards that season, his first with the Falcons.
Baker, who was a two-time MAC Champion with the Falcons in 1961-62 and 1962-63, was named to the All-MAC Second-Team in 1963-64 as a senior. Playing alongside of Komives and Dwors that season, Baker still finished his career on a high note. He still ranks 10th all-time in career field goal percentage with a 52.3 percent career field goal percentage, as he was 208-of-398 from the field during his three years at BGSU.
Ray, who wrapped up his career with the Falcons in 1955-56 (1952-53, 1954-55, 1955-56), led the Falcons in scoring with 367 points and an average of 15.9 points per game in 1955-56 to earn All-MAC Second-Team honors. However, Ellis (1952-53, 1955-56, 1956-57) was tabbed the BGSU Team MVP that season, as he led the team in rebounding with 197 rebounds on the year. He went on to be the team captain in 1956-57.
Passing of the Whistle
After taking over the reins of the BGSU men's basketball program in 1942-43, head coach Harold Anderson transitioned from the sidelines to the administration office after the 1962-63 season, as he continued to serve as the athletic director. Anderson ended his 21 year career at BGSU with overall 362-185 record from 1942-63. His team won three MAC Championships over his final five seasons on the sidelines, including back-to-back conference championships in his final two years in 1961-62 and 1962-63. He had three teams go to the NCAA Tournament and led six different squads to the NIT Tournament during his time as the Falcons' head coach. His 1944-45 team finished second in the NIT, while his 1948-49 team finished third in the NIT event that year.
Anderson coached 11 All-America players who all went on to play in the NBA and went on to win 504 basketball games in his 29-year coaching career at Toledo and Bowling Green. He was inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in 1985.
Upon his retirement from coaching, in which the Falcons had seven 20-plus win seasons and 16 winning seasons over his time on the sidelines, Anderson handed the whistle over to his longtime assistant coach Warren Scholler. Scholler, who was an assistant coach on all three of BGSU's MAC Championship teams, went 14-9 overall and 7-5 in the MAC in his first year as the head coach in 1963-64. He rounded out the decade with a 9-15 overall record in 1964-65, in which the Falcons went 6-6 in league play.
Overall, Scholler served as BGSU's head coach for four seasons from 1963-67. He posted an overall record of 43-52 during that time, winning 14 games in his first year in 1963-64 and 11 games in his last year in 1966-67.
Falcons that moved on to the Pros
The trend of Falcons moving on to the professional ranks in the BAA, ABA or NBA continued throughout decade of 1955-65 with Darrow, Thurmond and Komives.
James "Jim" Darrow was drafted in 38th overall by the St. Louis Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the 1960 draft. He played five games with the Hawks during the 1961-62 season, totaling 12 points. He previously played for the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots in the National Industrial Basketball League in 1960-61 after graduating from BGSU.
Nate "The Great" Thurmond went on to have the best professional career by a Falcon which span over 14 years. Drafted as the No. 3 pick overall in the first round of the 1963 NBA Draft by the San Francisco Warriors, Thurmond was a seven-time All-Star and the first player in NBA history to record an official quadruple-double. He is also one of only three players, along with Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, to grab more than 40 rebounds in one NBA game. Named both a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball of Fame and as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, Thurmond has had his No. 42 jersey retired by both the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Thurmond was named to the 1964 NBA All-Rookie Team, was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team twice in 1969 and 1971, and the NBA All-Defensive Second-Team three times from 1972-74. He played for the San Francisco/Golden State Warriors from 1963-74, the Chicago Bulls from 1974-76 and finished his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1976-77.
Komives was drafted 13th overall in the second round by the New York Knicks in 1964. He spent 10 seasons in the NBA playing with the Knicks from 1964-68, the Detroit Pistons from 1968-72, the Buffalo Braves in 1972-73 and the Kansas City-Omaha Kings in 1973-74. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie First-Team in 1965 in which he averaged 12.2 points per game. His most productive season was in 1967, when he averaged 15.7 points and 6.2 assists per contest.
Hall of Famers from the Era
Headlining the Hall of Famers during this time was the duo of Harold Anderson and Nate Thurmond, who were both elected into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in July, 1985.

Upon his retirement from coaching, Anderson continued to serve Bowling Green State University as its athletic director. He was inducted into the BGSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1966.
Thurmond was an All-American center on two Mid-American Conference Championship basketball teams at Bowling Green and went on to be named one of the top-50 players in NBA history. At BGSU, Thurmond was a three-time unanimous first-team All-MAC selection and is the only player in history to lead the league in rebounding three times. He scored 1,356 career points and added 1,295 career rebounds at BGSU and was named first team All-American by The Sporting News/UPI following the 1963 season. His name is littered throughout the Bowling Green record book, ranking first in career rebounds and 18th in career scoring. He averaged 17.0 rebounds per game during his collegiate career.
As a junior, Thurmond led Bowling Green to a record of 21-4 overall and 11-1 in the MAC, advancing the team to the NCAA Tournament. The Falcons were ranked as high as No. 7 in the country during that 1961-62 campaign. The following year, the team returned to the NCAA Tournament and picked up one of the biggest wins in program history. The Falcons hosted No. 2 Loyola, a team that would go on to win the NCAA Tournament that year, and dominated from wire-to-wire in a 92-75 victory.
Following such a successful collegiate career, he was selected by the San Francisco Warriors in the first round of the 1963 NBA Draft. He went on to play 12 seasons with the Warriors, Chicago Bulls, and Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 15 points and 15 rebounds per game over his 964-game career.

James Darrow came to Bowling Green in 1956 after a successful career at Akron South High School. Darrow gained All-MAC honors for three years (1957-60), becoming the first BG player to earn this recognition. He led the Falcons to the 1958-59 MAC championship, while also gaining All-America honors. In 1960, Darrow set 19 different BG and MAC records with 705 points, finishing second in NCAA scoring behind Oscar Robertson. That season, Darrow won the MAC scoring title with 30.9 points per game.

He ranked among the MAC leaders in scoring (3rd, 21.1 ppg in MAC games), field goal percentage (5th, 51.7%), free throw percentage (7th, 78.6%), and rebounding (5th 10.8 rpg) that season. His scoring average ranked 27th in the nation.
The Cleveland, Ohio native earned three letters, one for Harold Anderson (1962-63), and two under Warren Scholler. His scoring average as a senior still ranks seventh on the BG list. He shot 48.3% from the floor for his career and 73.3% from the charity stripe. He scored 803 points for his career (12.5 avg.) and had 480 rebounds (6.9 avg.).

Ellis was contacted by BG basketball coach Harold Anderson, and came to BG as a varsity basketball candidate as a freshman. He played in 22 games as a freshman, proving to be a standout rebounder. Ellis finished third in scoring as a sophomore with 251 points and was one of the top rebounders in the MAC. After a successful career in the military playing basketball, Ellis returned to Bowling Green to lead the 1955-56 Falcons in rebounding.
