With the greatest big man champ Bill Russell waiting of San Francisco 1956 waiting to play UNLV 1991 in our next all-time NCAA game, Morehead State's Kenneth Faried out together a Russell-like 27-point, 20-rebound, 8-block performance to beat Damian Lilliard's Weber State 94-80.
It was an NIT win for the best current Ohio Valley Conference against the best ever Big Sky team in our game. Murray State is no longer in the OVC, and in 2011 Morehead State beat them out for the title, then stunned Louisville in the NCAA. They advance to the Sweet 16 of non-power conference all-time champs.
We will add the result of the game between UNLV and San Fran to determine the 16th and final spot in the all-time NCAA tournament here when it is complete after the real football championship.
Bill Russell dominated and we will post the all-time Sweet 16 next - the scoresheet is below.
