In a group of all-time greats, Debbie Miller is the all-time
great when the subject of Boston University women's basketball
is discussed.
A 5-11 forward from the Bronx, Miller started all four years
for the Terriers from 1977-1981. She led the team in scoring,
rebounding, and every other offensive category each year and
owned the team MVP trophy after each season. She was fourth
in the nation in rebounding her junior year and third in the
nation her senior year. With Miller in the lineup, the Terriers
compiled a record of 66 wins and 33 losses, made it to the
Eastern finals three of her four years and qualified for the
AIAW National Tournament one year.
Miller scored 1,864 points during her B.U. career had 1,198
rebounds. She averaged 20.0 points and 12.9 rebounds per game
for her career and also had 477 assists, 428 steals and 260
blocked shots.
Miller received All-America honors her junior and senior
years and was a finalist for the Margaret Wade Trophy, given
to the nation's top player, twice. She also represented the
United States on numerous national teams and was selected
to the 1980 Olympic team.
The first woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame from
the modern era, Miller was awarded the Scarlet Key in 1981
and received the Gretchen Schuyler Award as the University's
top female athlete.
