The Miners' victory over University of Kentucky, coached by legendary Adolph Rupp, in the finals of the NCAA Tournament was a story of triumph of character and heart over hardship and seemingly impossible odds. The victory also had a big impact on socity. For the first time, five blacks started in the finals of the NCAA Tournament.
