Description

In 1945, the Loyola New Orleans Wolf Pack became the city's first basketball team to earn a national championship.

The Cinderella season was chronicled in the "Times Picayune," the student newspaper "The Maroon" and letters from students and alums fighting overseas.

The 1944-45 run to the championship was an amazing boon to the community during trying times.

The group of boyhood friends and rivals beat out previous national champions and exhausted opponents.

Take a courtside seat as journalist Ramon A. Vargas chronicles the season, including heartfelt personal narratives to tell the story of the championship and legacy of a team that led Loyola to national prominence.
