Retired Numbers
Only two male Commodores have had their jerseys retired by the university:
- Clyde Lee #43 - Lee was perhaps the greatest player in Commodore history. He averaged the most points per game in school history and the balconies on the south end of Memorial Gymnasium are commonly referred to as the "balconies that Clyde built".
- Perry Wallace #25 - The first African-American scholarship athlete in the Southeastern Conference.
