155. Fred Carter, basketball
He was the first black student to attend Mount St. Mary's College, and when he left, in 1969, Carter was the school's No. 2 all-time scorer. A third-round draft pick of the Baltimore Bullets, dubbed "Mad Dog" for his hounding defense, he played eight seasons in the NBA and made the winning jumper in the seventh game of the Bullets' celebrated 1971 Eastern Division finals victory over the New York Knicks.
