1963 Loyola Ramblers down 15 with under 10 to go upset Cincy
1964 Texas Western, first black starting 5 in NCAA, upset Kentuck(although Loyola really was the first team with all black starting lineupthe previous year.)
1973 Bill Walton goes 21-22 in the most dominating single game performance in NCAA history to beat Memphis.

You've got a scoop if Loyola's Johnny Egan was black.

Texas Western beat Kentucky in 1966.

WTF

WTF

I have no scoop, Little Johnny Egan was pasty white. Yup, it was 1966, 1964 was UCLA with Gail Goodrich I think. Loyola was first team ,D1, to field an all black
lineup.

"Civil Rights Movement & 1963 NCAA Basketball Championship

The 1963 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship and the obstacles faced on the team's road to victory in a racially segregated country put Loyola in the national spotlight. Before the championship, there was a gentlemen's agreement among college teams limiting how many black players could play during a game. In 1961, Loyola head coach George Ireland broke the gentleman's agreement by fielding four black players at every game. He made history that year at a game against Wyoming, with Loyola being the first Division I team ever to field five black players in competition. "

More............

"In 1963 college basketball coaches had an agreement that limited the number of black players on a team and how many could be in the game at one time. Typically no more than three black players could be in the game at one time, but early on in the '62-'63 season the coach at Loyola, George Ireland, began putting four black players into games regularly. In a game against Wyoming, when white starter John Egan fouled out and Ireland inserted a substitute, Loyola became the first Division 1 team to sport an all black lineup."

Santa Clara (15 seed) over Arizona (2 seed) lead by Steve Nash

Villanova with Ed Pinkney over Gerogetown with Patrick Ewing for National Championship

Navy's run to the Elite 8 in 1986 was top shelf material. With only one big guy, David Robinson, the Midshipmen stunned Syracuse and lost to eventual runner-up, Duke.

I was wondering why the Nova win in 85(?) wasn't on there - didn't they shoot something like 80% from the field for that game???

[DadofTwins]

Bryce Drew for the win?

Anyone?

Anyone?

The Pacific-Boston College game a few years ago was a lot of fun for me as there were a bunch of people watching it and really sweating it out. NY Times had picked BC to win it all and here was Pacific outplaying them. BC pulls it out in double OT. Just one more week...

There are hundreds of those great games, that's what makes the tourney top shelf. Personally, I don't remeber that game nor BC being picked to go all the way. In my little world, I lived and died with DePaul back in 78, 79.
