More then a decade after the Hawks flew south to St. Louis the city of Milwaukee once again had an NBA team to call themselves in the expansion Bucks. The Buck opened their initial season by losing to the Chicago Bulls 89-84 before 8,467 fans at The Mecca. The team's first win would come in their 6th game when the beat the Detroit Pistons 134-118. The Bucks would go on to finish with a 27-55 record finishing in last place in the Eastern Division. By finishing in last place the Bucks would enter a coin flip for the top pick in the NBA draft. A pick the Bucks would win allowing them to draft UCLA star Lew Alcindor. In a name the team contest R.D. Trebilcox of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, was one of 45 persons who suggested the name "Bucks." His reasoning: "Bucks are spirited, good jumpers, fast and agile." Mr. Trebilcox won a new car for his efforts in picking the name.
