Jack Bendure

Induction:
2024

A Columbus, Ohio native, Jack Bendure played men's basketball from 1969-72. He was part of UT Martin's first-ever conference championship squad in men's basketball as the then-Pacers claimed the 1969-70 Volunteer State Athletic Conference crown. He still ranks as the program's all-time leader in blocked shots (183), single-season blocks (78 in 1969-70) and single-game blocks (11 against Union on Jan. 17, 1970). He was an All-Gulf South Conference performer during his senior season, nearly averaging a double-double (12.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game) over his final two years in a UT Martin uniform.
