University of Southern Indiana Athletics

A legend in the history of the USI basketball program, John Hollinden towered over the opposition at 7-foot-6 and helped lead USI to a pair of GLVC championships and back-to-back NCAA II Tournament appearances. USI’s all-time leader with 365 blocks in two seasons also holds the single-game and single-season record for blocks. Hollinden, who still ranks in the top 20 all-time at USI in rebounds, was a two-time All-GLVC player and was the GLVC Player of the Year in 1981. He also was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in the 10th round of the NBA Draft before suffering a crippling back injury. Holllinden passed away in 1992.
