Marquette Career

Played for Marquette from 1966-1969.

Holds the Marquette record for rebounds in a single game: 28, against Loyola on Feb. 8, 1967.

Is best known for fighting with DePaul Blue Demons' second leading scorer and rebounder, Bob Zoretich, in a 1968 away game at DePaul's Alumni Hall. Both were ejected. This prompted DePaul coach Ray Meyer to state that MU lost a player “who couldn't throw a ball in the ocean if he were standing on the beach.” Marquette coach Al McGuire then proceeded to set up a photo session with Pat Smith standing on the shore of Lake Michigan, trying to throw the ball into the lake (see above picture).

Personal Notes

He last worked for the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commission before retiring.
