Biography

Tom Peck was inducted into the Blugold Hall of Fame in 2003.

Peck is the only Blugold men's basketball player to make an All-Conference team without being a starter. The 6-8 Peck, who prepped at Racine Horlick High School, was a key rebounder on the Blugolds' NAIA national runner-up team in 1972 when he came off the bench to earn NAIA All-Tournament Second Team, All-Conference and NAIA All-District 14 recognition. He repeated as an All-District and All-Conference pick in 1973. He was the WSUC rebound champion in 1973 and produced a 12.1 rebound average for the season. He grabbed 1,002 rebounds (9.1 average) and scored 963 points (8.8 average) for his career. He played in 100 victories during his career as the Blugolds forged a 100-10 record during his four-year stint. With Peck on the team, the Blugolds won four straight conference championships and fashioned a 61-3 conference mark including a 49-game conference win streak.

After his senior season, Peck was drafted by both the Houston Rockets of the NBA and the Denver Rockets of the ABA. He ended up trying out with Denver. He toured Europe with a Midwest All-Star team in 1971 and toured Israel with an NAIA All-Star team in 1973.
