A forgotten team that did some incredible things. Back in the day when they jumped after every made basket. When there was no ease of travel. This team had style.

They beat Pittsburg to win the National Title by a score of 41-37. The coach was Harry Rabenhorst. You may recognize the name.

I took a quick screenshot of an article that I printed out in the early 90's. If there is any interest I will scan it.

Great team. But dumb national title.

LSU should drop that one and instead recognize the 1908 football national title.

Blackie, Milford, Mac, Judge, Shangaloo, Red... you just don't see manly names like that anymore.

ETA - I don't know much about basketball and really wanted to post in your thread.
