A Century of Tradition

Dan Ginavan, a classmate of mine at IWU, created a tribute video entitled IWU Basketball: A Century of Tradition. It is made up of historical Titan basketball photographs and video footage, a lot of which Dan has captured himself over the years. It is set to that great Hoosiers music.

The video includes one of my favorite IWU plays ever - Steve Czirjak's block of a 3-pointer and layup @ North Park in 1991-92 in an amazing Titan comeback. I haven't seen that play since I witnessed in it person as a student over 15 years ago.

Dan is currently the Video Production Project Manager at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Drop him a note to thank him for putting this together...it's very cool.
