The University of Minnesota's M Club, one of the nation's largest and oldest varsity letterwinner clubs, inducted nine new Hall of Fame members on Sept, 10, 2021 in an in-person ceremony on Williams Arena court. Gopher men's basketball standout Tommy Davis (1982-85) was one of this year's recipients. After the ceremony on Sept. 10, he and the rest of the inductees were honored at the Gopher Football game against Miami (OH) on Sept. 11, 2021.Â
Davis started right away as a freshman, averaging nearly five points per game in helping the Gophers to the 1982 Big Ten championship alongside greats Trent Tucker, Randy Breuer, Darryl Mitchell and Jim Petersen. The Aberdeen, Md., native continually improved, averaging 12.8 points as a sophomore and 16.0 as a junior, earning Second Team All-Big Ten honors in 1984. His career culminated with First Team All-Big Ten honors as a senior, tallying 19.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Davis recorded one of the most incredible performances in Big Ten history, making 15-of-16 field goal attempts for 33 points against Indiana on February 11, 1984.
Davis finished his career as the fourth all-time scorer in program history with 1,481 points. He was selected in the fifth round of the 1985 NBA Draft and later went on to a successful playing and coaching career in France.
