[Vision2020] NCAA Upset

[Carl Westberg]

Vandal basketball memories of the season of 1962-63.  Coached by Joe 
Cipriano, with a starting five of Chuck White, Gus Johnson (who went on to 
NBA fame after 1 season at Idaho), Rich Porter, Tom Whitfield and Lyle 
Parks.  The Vandals went 20-6, and Gus Johnson was featured in a 3 page 
article in Sports Illustrated.  If you wanted a seat, you needed to show up 
at Memorial Gym about 3 hours ahead of tipoff.  Oregon coach Steve Bilko, on 
his team's visit to Moscow:  "The night before the game, my players did 
everything there was to do in Moscow.  Twice."
