Item Description
Commemorative Baden Basketball signed by the Ohio State University 1960 Men’s National Championship Basketball Team including Fred Taylor, John Havlicek, Bob Knight, Jerry Lucas and 14 others. Includes display case.
Ohio State's 1960 NCAA championship team averaged 90.4 points per game, still a school record, without the 3-point line or a shot clock forcing their play. The team featured two Hall of Fame players, Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek, six players drafted by the NBA and Bob Knight, who as a coach has won 902 NCAA Division I men's college basketball games (second only to his former player, Mike Krzyzewski).
In the three-year careers of those sophomores (freshmen couldn't play varsity ball then), the Buckeyes never lost at home, went 78-6 overall, and followed the 1960 national title with two more title game appearances, and losses, to Cincinnati.
Squad included: Jim Allen, Dave Barker, John Cedargren, Dick Furry, Gary Gearbart, John Havlicek, Richie Hoyt, Bob Knight, J.T. Landes, Jerry Lucas, Nelson Miller, Gary Milliken, Howard Nourse, Mel Nowell, Joe Roberts, Larry Siegfried, Mike Sorochak, Mgr.
Coaches included: Fred Taylor, Jack Graf (Asst.), Frank Truitt (Asst.) and Ernie Biggs (Trainer).
Signed by everyone except John Cedargren, J.T. Landes and Ernie Biggs.
