UTEP

In case you don't remember, UTEP is famous for one thing. UTEP (formally Texas Western) was made famous in 1966 when coach Don Haskins changed the face of college athletics by starting five African American players in the NCAA basketball championship game. Texas Western beat Kentucky (72-65) and won the 1966 NCAA Basketball Championship.

FWIW, this guy (below) and Louie Dampier lead Kentucky in scoring (19 points each) in the championship game. Anybody recognize him? Among other numerous accomplishments, he is currently the team president of the Miami Heat.
