Eddie McTague (1975-80) was a standout member of the men’s basketball team in the late 1970s.  He holds KU’s career records for assists (405) and steals (359), and ranks fourth all-time in scoring (1,254 points).  He holds the single-game record for steals, free-throw percentage, and has the top three single-season steals totals.  McTague was a first-team All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) and All-Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) selection in 1977-78 and 1979-80, while serving as captain for four seasons.  As a senior, he finished just short of the PSAC’s scoring title.  During his junior and senior seasons, McTague helped Kutztown into the NCAA Division II national rankings.  After Kutztown, McTague signed a professional contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and played two seasons in the Continental Basketball Association.  He is a graduate of Northeast Catholic High School in Philadelphia.
