The Samford athletics department will honor all basketball alumni, with a special recognition of the 1960–61 team that posted a record of 23–1, at halftime of the Bulldogs’ home game against University of North Carolina in Greensboro on Jan. 29.
After the game a reception for the players and their families will be held in the hospitality room of the Pete Hanna Center.
The 1960–61 team posted the highest winning percentage in school history and the third most wins of any Samford team. The Bulldogs accomplished all of that with no seniors on the roster. Barnes said he did have some leaders on the squad, however.
If you are a basketball alumnus and would like to be a part of the festivities, contact Garrett Rice at 205-726-4217 or by e-mail at gjrice@samford.edu.
