Kansas 1997 vs. Duke 2001 Cards, as well as missing George Mikan and DePaul 1945 Found

 As Wofford and UNC Wilmington take the court for our next all-time NIT/non-power conference champs in the prelim, the all-time NCAA greats waiting on the bench are a classic match-up between the incredible Duke 2001 against Paul Pierce's Kansas team from four years earlier.

However we added one other team below. We were contacted and realized we were short one team in the Value Add Basketball Game instructions. Somehow in moving the cards over a while back that is the one link we forgot to forgot was none other than George Mikan's 1945 DePaul team. He should be players favorite ever, because he not only won titles in the NBA and the two years that preceded it, but took his fight for players' salaries all the way to being the commissioner of the competitor the ABA that invested the 3-point shot.

So if you are getting a play check today for playing hoops and putting up any 3-point shots, you should love Mikan. Here is his recovered team as well as the two blue bloods who will play in the next all-time NCAA game after teh NIT Wofford vs. UNC-Wilmington Game.
