Three years before Glory Road happened, there was a March Madness game that broke away for the first time ever the barriers of color in college basketball. And it's only now, when the two teams will meet again for the first time since that game, that its significance is also as important as the ones in Glory Road.
The teams are Mississippi State and Loyola (Chicago), and that particular game was played in 1963 in East Lansing, Michigan. They will meet again Saturday in Loyola's home arena.
