Kevin Conrad - Men's Basketball 1979-1983

Regarded as one of the toughest players ever to wear the Red and Blue, Kevin Conrad played in 106 games in his career. Of all of those 106, long-time members of the Flyer Faithful remember one performance by Conrad more than any other. That's the game when he played 62 out of a possible 65 minutes in leading UD to a five-overtime, 79-77 win over Providence.

Conrad is 42nd in career scoring at UD (983 points, 9.3 average), but is fifth among point guards. He is also fifth in career assists (498) and fourth in career average (4.70). He had two of the top three seasons in Flyer assists per game - 6.30 in 1981-82 and 6.17 in 1980-81 while guiding the Flyers to back-to-back NIT appearances.

Three Dayton guards accumulated 1,000 points and 500 assists in their careers, and Conrad likely fell one game short of becoming the fourth.

The scrappy floor leader from Glen Ellyn, Ill. recorded a then school-record 14 assists in three different games in his career. His 14 assists are still just one shy of the UD single-game record. He is one of five Flyer point guards to lead UD in assists in three different seasons. A hard-nosed defender, he is also 10th in career steals at UD (122).
