22. Cliff Hagan

3 seasons, 19.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 17.3 field goal attempts per game

Cliff Hagan was one of the first dominant forces in college basketball. Playing under Adolph Rupp from 1950-1953, Hagan developed a hook shot that is still talked about in Lexington. He was twice named an All-American, starting with his sophomore year when he was a key player on a national championship team.

Hagan is ranked in the top 20 in school history in points scored while also being a top five rebounder. Hagan set the school scoring record when he scored 51 points against Temple in 1953, which stood until 1970. During his final year at Kentucky, Hagan averaged an unprecedented 20.6 field goal attempts per game.
