Great story..thanks for posting...I suspect most don't realize that the USF Dosn with Bill Russell won the NCAA title.

I recall, as a kid in the Bronx in the 60's..I played varsity BB in HS, and freshman ball at NYU..going down to CCNY..and back then it was a dump..and in the old gyrm, in a locked trophy case covered with iron bars, were some old baseketballs and pics..signed 1950-51 NCAA AND NIT champs..

Unless they had any classes in Kalmanovitz Hall, in which case they'd have to pass the commemorative shrine every day on their way to class. Bill Russell is still considered the school's patron saint.
