Willie Cager was a beloved member of our 1966 Texas Western NCAA Championship team and a treasured individual within the El Paso Community.
Sending our condolences to his family and friends.
On this date in 1966, we made history and changed college basketball forever by defeating Kentucky to win the 1966 NCAA Championship ๐
We became the first team to start five African-Americans in an NCAA title game, with the landmark victory inspiring the movie Glory Road ๐ฅ
