Ramblers
The story of the 1963 NCAA national champion University of Loyola-Chicago Ramblers basketball team.--Provided by publisher.
Fifty years ago, basketball was a floor-bound game, and the opportunities it offered for African-Americans were severely limited. A key turning point was 1963, when the Loyola Ramblers of Chicago took the NCAA men's basketball title from Cincinnati, the two-time defending champions. It was one of Chicago's most memorable sports victories; it was also a game for the history books because of the transgressive lineups fielded by both teams. Lenehan shows how sport in America both typifies and drives change in the broader culture.
