Marvin Barnes, who led Providence to the 1973 Final Four, has died, a Providence College press release confirmed on Monday. Barnes was 62.
Barnes, a 6-9, 220-pound center, led the NCAA in rebounding (18.7) during the 1973-74 season, and was a consensus All-American.
Barnes was named ABA Rookie of the Year in 1975, when he averaged 24.0 points and 15.6 rebounds per game. He went on to play for four NBA teams -- the Pistons, Buffalo Braves, Celtics and then-San Diego Clippers over four seasons, averaging 9.2 points and 5.5 rebounds.
Providence retired his jersey in 2008.
