MSU vs. Loyola 1963

On March 15, 1963, MSU President Dean W. Colvard and Head Basketball Coach Babe McCarthy snuck the MSU squad out of Starkville to face the Loyola University Ramblers in the integrated NCAA Tournament. 50 years later, we honor the MSU and Loyola teams who participated in the "Game of Change."
