Coach Haskins started five black players for the first time in NCAA Championship history.
It wasn't that long ago.


The 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament involved 22 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball. It began on March 7, 1966, and ended with the championship game on March 19 in College Park, Maryland. A total of 26 games were played, including a third place game in each region and a national third place game.

So, I'm one of a few who wish it had never happened. :D

To be fair, Utah had like 3 black starters that year, so they would've made some history had they beat UTEP, right?
