 Rand began his undergraduate studies at Marquette University and made a name for himself as a member of the basketball team. He led the team in scoring and rebounding as a sophomore(15.8 ppg), junior(15.8 ppg) and senior(20.2 ppg), and was one of the school’s first All- Americans. In 1955 he was on the first team from Marquette to go the NCAA Tournament, and he still holds the school record for most points in an NCAA Tournament game (37 vs. Miami (Ohio). In 1956, Rand scored 43 points against Duquesne, which remains a Chicago Stadium scoring record. When he was inducted into Marquette University’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996, he ranked 14th on the university’s career scoring list with 1,309 points, and third in rebounding with 978. Rand began his undergraduate studies at Marquette University and made a name for himself as a member of the basketball team.

 During the Olympic Trials, Rand scored 10 points as his team, Buchan Bakers, lost the first game to the Bill Russell and K.C. Jones-led College All-Stars, 86-79. Then next day, the second game was another loss, this time to the Phillips Oilers, 72-64, with Rand scoring 5 points. The third and last game featured a Rand scoring 13 points in a victory over the Armed Forces All-Stars in a close one, 82-79. Rand finished the Olympic Trials as the 14th highest scorer with 28 points (11 FG and 6 FT made) while Russell led all scorers with 72. Rand would be named as an alternate to the Olympic Team. During the Olympic Trials, Rand scored 10 points as his team, Buchan Bakers, lost the first game to the Bill Russell and K.C.

-Rand was drafted by the Minneapolis Lakers in 1956, but at the time, the team was practically bankrupt. There was no television revenue back then, and the salaries were very low by comparison to today’s multimillion dollar contracts. He was offered $15,000 a year, but decided not to play in the NBA. Instead, he chose to play for the Denver Truckers, an amateur team in the National Industrial League.  That league existed for about eight years. Rand actually made more money than he would have if he had chosen to play with an NBA team.+Rand was drafted by the Minneapolis Lakers in 1956, but at the time, the team was practically bankrupt. There was no television revenue back then, and the salaries were very low by comparison to today’s multimillion dollar contracts. He was offered $7,500 a year, but decided not to play in the NBA. Instead, he chose to play for the Denver Truckers, an amateur team in the National Industrial League.  The Denver owners offered a $400 a month executive trainee position, fringe benefits, and a sizable bonus. Also included were law classes at Denver University. That league existed for about eight years. Rand actually made more money than he would have if he had chosen to play with an NBA team.
