Thought this was kind of interesting

The link below takes you to a story about a Cal State-Bakersfield player, Brent Wrapp, whose grandfather, Jack Wrapp, was a member of the Billikens '48 NIT championship team. Bakersfield made it to the Garden as an 8 seed in this year's NIT. The granddad is 87 and was interviewed and shared memories of the trip to New York. Thought it was a nice story with a Billikens twist.

Very cool...thanks for sharing.

Think SLU needs to step up and stake claim to the National Championship in 1948!

Does anyone know for sure how many players from that team are still around? I remember reading on here that there was only one left when Macauley died, but didn't we lose another one this season?
