This year is the 50th anniversary of Texas Western's 72-65 victory over Kentucky in the NCAA men's basketball title game.

Texas Western became the first team with an all-black starting lineup to win a NCAA basketball title. Kentucky featured an all-white starting lineup.

The Texas Western team was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.
