Basketball is king at Nevada Southern The 1967-68 version of Coach Rolland Todd's fastbreaking Rebels proved to be the greatest team in NSU history. Compiling a fantastic 22-7 record, which included the NCAA Pacific Coast Regional championship and a trip to Evans- ville, Indiana for a shot at the NCAA Championship, Todd's crew rolled through a formidable schedule that included the top collegiate squad in the nation, the Houston Cougars. And although they lost lby 9 pointsl to Elvin Hayes and his herd from Texas, the Rebel cagers provided maior upsets in tumbling power- house foes Hawaii, North Texas State, University of the Pacific, Oklahoma City lwho had gone undefeated until that pointl, Centenary, and the Univer- sity of San Diego. With two-time All-American Elburt Miller and 6'7 John Trapp leading the way NSU became the number six rated college basketball team in the nation before finishing tenth at the close of the season. Miller and Trapp were not without help, however, as NSU fans will long remember dazzling plays by stellar guards .Ierry Chandler and Curtis Watson and clutch performances by forwards Don Lyons and Cliff Findlay. Reservists included hard-working Ed Plawski, Big Ed Terwilliger lwho had his own fan clubl, Bakersfield standouts David Webb and Mark Larson, and reliable player-manager Harold Stafford.
