Bears Fall Short: Butler Nets All Conference Honors
Butler's 1951 basketball season featured losses and inexperience but rising stars. Harry Wise and Thurman Wright anchored a revised defense, guiding a 12-13 record and a third-place finish in the Rocky Mountain Conference title race. Dale Montgomery moved to center and led rebounding while Wise posted 340 points in 25 games, earning all conference recognition as the Bears beat Colorado College and Montana State in key late-season games.
