Back in the day, Texas Western's Harry Flournoy was one of the top basketball rebounders in the nation. He even made the cover of Sports Illustrated, going for a rebound against Kentucky's Pat Riley. Flournoy was on the groundbreaking team that made history in '66 as the first all-African American starting five in a college basketball championship game.
