  • Loyola Wins 'Game of Change' Reprise 59-51 by Fred Mitchell December
    Loyola wins 'Game of Change' reprise 59-51 By Fred Mitchell December 16, 2012 As former players from the famed 1963 Loyola and Mississippi State teams watched from the stands at Gentile Arena, the 2012 versions of the two reprised that historic battle Saturday night. "This is a great, great feeling. And the main reason why is because (the opponent) is Mississippi State," said Jerry Harkness, the All-American captain of the Ramblers' NCAA tournament champion. Loyola won the particularly spirited and physical contest 59-51 before a crowd of 3,321. Eerily, the score was only two points off the final of that NCAA Mideast Regional tournament semifinal that the Ramblers won 61-51. "That means that in 50 years of basketball, we haven't learned how to play offense yet," first- year Mississippi State coach Rick Ray quipped.\ Ray is the first African-American basketball coach at the school that defied its state's unwritten law then to play an integrated team. The '63 Ramblers had four African-American starters: Harkness, Vic Rouse, Les Hunter and Ron Miller. Johnny Egan was the team's point guard. The SEC-champion Bulldogs were an all-white team at a time when schools in the segregated South didn't play integrated teams. Saturday night, the Ramblers went on a 20-0 run late in the first half to take a 34-20 lead at the intermission. Freshman Devon Turk led them with a season-high 21 points, including five 3- pointers. Mississippi State got 14 points from Fred Thomas and 13 from Roquez Johnson.
