I'm not sure if this should go here or the Rotating Tap but I found it interesting. I saw this on the Stetson University site and first thought, "huh?" Anyway this link has a story about our Earnest Killum's dad.

This got me curious to do some research. Stetson made the final 8 of the College Division (later divided into D2 and D3) national tournament that year. It lost in the quarterfinals to Buffalo State. Philadelphia Textile was the eventual champion.

There was some good talent at that tournament. Ted "The Hound" McClain played for Tennessee State and Randy Smith played for Buffalo State. Both of them had very solid NBA careers.
