[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 788050, member: 3893"] Some Loyola history...still the[I] only school from Illinois to win the NCAA championship, in 1963[/I]: [URL='https://www.npr.org/2013/03/15/174304630/game-of-change-pivotal-matchup-helped-end-segregated-hoops']Game Of Change: Pivotal Matchup Helped End Segregated Hoops : NPR[/URL] "During the March Madness of 1963, playing was infused with politics. The NCAA matchup between Loyola University of Chicago and Mississippi State helped put an end to segregated basketball. Loyola's win 50 years ago became known as the "game of change." Their "Game of Change" with Mississippi State in '63 reminded me of Tech's '56 Sugar Bowl game against Pitt. Both were a step along the road toward ending segregated sports, and both games featured exemplary sportsmanship on both sides.
