Binding: DVDFormat: NTSC Label: Thought Equity Manufacturer: Thought Equity Publisher: Thought Equity Release Date: February 23, 2007 Studio: Thought Equity Editorial Review: Amazon.com: On March 19, 1966, Texas Western College, now known as the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), put an all-black starting five on the floor for the first time in an NCAA basketball championship. That night the Texas Western Miners, led by coach Don Haskins with star players David Lattin and Bobby Joe Hill, defeated coach Adolph Rupp's #1 ranked all-white Kentucky Wildcats, 72-65. Lattin set the tone early with a thunderous dunk, highlighting the strength of the Miners, while Hill's back to back steals showed their quickness. Other key players for the Miners included Harry Flournoy, Willie Cager, Willie Worsley and Nevil Shed. The Kentucky Wildcats featured Pat Riley, Louis Dampier and Larry Conley.

It is the very beginning of what college sports represent today and I am thankfull for the inovative thinking of Coach Haskins and the young men of Texas Western University (University of Texas El Paso), if it wasn't for them, I would have never received a basketball scholarship and earned a degree. Rating: - FINALLY!!!For YEARS I have been pleading with the NCAA, the university (UTEP), ESPN, and anyone else who would listen that this game, perhaps the most important and culturally significant contest ever played, should be remastered and released on DVD. At last, my wish has been granted. I've had an old VHS copy of this game that was made from the original master reel for a few years, but the picture quality is very poor and there's no audio. While the picture quality is still not 100%, this digitally ... Read More |
