Lettermen from the 2001-02 FSU Basketball Media Guide, page 242 and the Florida Times Union, June 14, 1959, page 31

From the Tallahasee Democrat
Hugh Durham, one of Florida State's all-time basketball greats, has won the Seminole's individual scoring championship for the second time in three years.

Final 23-game statistics reveal Durham finished his last season on a three-year varsity career with 504 points and a 21.9 average. The 5-11 guard from Louisville, Ky, has earned honorable mention on United Press International's All-American team and a first-team spot on the All-Florida college basketball squad for the third straight year.

An excellent student who is a member of "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities." Durham scored 1,381 points (18.9 average) in 73 games as a Seminole. He set FSU's single-game scoring record with 43 points against Stetson in 1956.

This season, Durham bagged 20 or more points in 15 of Florida State's 23 games. The Seminole team captain was best against Southeastern Conference teams, averaging 25.6 points in seven starts against SEC fives.

Durham's season highs were 36 against Georgia, 31 against LSU and 30 against defending NCAA champion Kentucky. Twice he collected 26 points against Auburn.

From the Florida Times Union, July 30, 1961
Hugh Durham is promoted to assistant basketball caoch. In the article it says: "Durham, team captain during the 1958-59 campaign, was named to the first team All-Florida collegiate squad three straight years and earned honorable mention on several All-American teams after his senior year."
