Willie Worsley spent nearly a lifetime going through the back doors of high school and college gyms, as well as pro basketball arenas, as a player and coach.
When he entered Cole Field House through the front door Saturday afternoon, along with four of his former Texas Western teammates, the sign in the lobby above what once had been a ticket window brought the significance of what they accomplished 50 years ago back to life.
The sign noted that the 1966 NCAA men's Final Four had been played on Maryland's campus and that the little Texas school was there along with national powers Kentucky and Duke, as well as Utah.
