In 1971, he helped lead Marquette to a 28-1 record and berth in the NCAA Tournament. The following season Chones led Marquette to a perfect 21-0 start by averaging a team-high 20.5 points and 11.9 rebounds before being selected in the first round of the 1972 ABA Draft by the New York Knicks.  Inducted into Marquette's Hall of Fame in 2004 and sponsored by Louis Maier.
