Saw this on the basketball site, which says we will be honoring the 61-62 team, who were the first to play in the NCAAs (D2 at the time).  Chuck Kriston was the star of that team, (lower left first row).  Now, I'm really showing my age (I was a VERY young kid at the time), but, I was at the Kentucky State game that year, while visiting my aunt and uncle in Valpo.  My aunt still goes to all the Valpo games (at age 92!).
