While at Indiana State University, Hazen was a 2-year letterman for the Sycamores, helping the team reach the NAIA Men's Division I Tournament, finishing as National Finalist in 1948. During his collegiate career, the Sycamores recorded a record of 44–15 (.746), won two IIC titles and an NAIA District title.
Hazen played for Glenn M. Curtis as a freshman and the legendary John Wooden as a sophomore and junior.
Though the statistical records are intermittent, Hazen scored over 100 points during his collegiate career.[3] Two of his teammates, Duane Klueh and Bob Royer also had NBA careers.
The 1948 season marked the beginning of integrated post-season tournament play, as Clarence Walker and Indiana State broke the barrier.
