SMU Athletics

Charles Beasley was a two-time first-team All-Southwest Conference honoree that helped the Mustangs to three SWC titles during his career from 1964-67. SMU made the NCAA Tournament all three seasons, reaching the 1967 regional final when he earned the Lank Majors Award as team MVP. He finished with 1,204 career points, averaging 15.4 as a Mustang. His 83.9% free-throw shooting was the all-time best when he graduated and still ranks fourth in program history. He was selected by the Cincinnati Royals in the seventh round of the 1967 NBA Draft before playing four seasons in the ABA with the Dallas Chaparrals and The Floridians.
