Summary
Sihugo Green, Dick Ricketts, Dave Ricketts, Mickey Winograd, Lou Severine, Jim Fallon, Lou Iezzi, Paul Lojpersberger, Ralph Leng, John Nosworthy, Tom Peszko, Bob Schneider, Dudey Moore and Red Manning. They are all connected, in perpetuity, as a special group of men who not only captured the lone major national title in Duquesne University history, but to date the only Division I college basketball national championship the city of Pittsburgh has ever produced in a tournament. No other team has ever had the honor of raising a national championship trophy.
This book captures all of the excitement of that memorable season by taking a look at how the team was built, a game-by-game synopsis of the campaign, an in depth look at the NIT, detailed biographies of each player and coach and a chapter telling the story of the program after the long awaited national championship was won.
