George Albert Tuck (April 12, 1882 – August 22, 1952)[1] was a college basketball player for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Tuck, a center, was one of the two first Big Ten Conference basketball players to be named as an All-American, along with Christian Steinmetz, when he made the team in 1905.[2] Minnesota won the first 29 games of Tuck's career and finished with a record of 45–9–1 during his time as a Golden Gopher.[2] Tuck also played for Minnesota's football team.[3]
