WHEREAS, Loyola University Chicago has a long and storied history in basketball. In 1963 Loyola broke with college basketball's unwritten rule that no team should have more than two black players on the court at any given time, and in so doing, created a national conversation on race which led to the elimination of the limit on black players' court time. On March 15, 1963, .in the NCAA Tournament, Loyola played Mississippi State University The governor of Mississippi had instructed the all-white Mississippi State team not to play against an integrated team. Their coach and players refused to follow the instruction, and the game became known as.the Game of Change.' Loyola •would "/go on/to defeat the tvyo-time/ defending champion; ♦UhiveKity^;%--ofcrncinnfdft Bedrcd.ts pranked Number One in the Nation), "to win the National Cjnampiphship.
