1966: Texas Western stuns Kentucky 72-65 to win the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship at College Park, Maryland. The Mines coached by Don Haskins boast the first all-black starting lineup to play for the national championship. Kentucky coached by Adolph Rupp was the number one team in the country and a heavy favorite. Leading the way for Texas Western was Bobby Joe Hill who had a game high 20 points in the upset win.
