I showed this 2 my grandpa and he totally remembers watching this!!!!!!! He got a little teary cuz he said it felt like it just happened yesterday lol..
oh please-rupp was a huge racist. he actually asked the courier-journal if they could put an asterik next to black players' stats in high school boxscores so he would know whether he wanted to recruit them or not. he was also a cheat.
where lattin blocks they guy at around 2:20, that same exact sequence is in the movie "Glory Road" which is about what the players on Texas Western went thru in this season
this was rupps runts. they werent supposed to do nearly that good this season. there tallest starter was 6ft5. a lot of people say rupp wasnt a racist, unfortunately a lot of locals were. so rupp supported them. he recruited uks first black player. it did take a while. this might be the only game i saw rupp get outcoached. the runts were damngood, rupp did more with them then people thought. Texas Western beat a goodteam. kansas and dukes teams were overrated this year,nomatter what comments say
uk wasnt the best team duke was actually the best team this year but their star player got sick when they played kentucky in the final and he didnt even come close to scoring his average.
do you realize this was probably the most important game in college basketball history? and it was only because TWC won. this opened the door for so many players who did not have the opportunity to get an education or play basketball in the big schools before that
woah! I love compare modern athletic skills to these "pioneers". Imagine in '66 admire a double hand dunk!!! awesome. Poor Riley, being around rocket Lattin. Was he supposed to land one moment or another?
We havent had James,Kobe,Durant,Rose,Wade etc if TWC didnt win.. RIP Haskins <3

@RAeverything17 Actually I would say that the 1963 Mississippi State/Loyola of Chicago game may be more important....
