'DREAMS DO COME TRUE'

“You coach this sport with a dream to get to the NCAA tournament... athletes play this sport with a dream to reach the NCAA tournament... and here at Eastern Illinois University ... dreams do come true!”

That quote was delivered by head coach Rick Samuels to a cheering throng of fans in Lantz Arena as they welcomed home the Mid-Continent Conference tournament champion Panthers, who advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament for the fi rst time in school history.

Five seniors, the heart-and-soul of the team, knocked off Wright State in the fi rst round, upset heavily favored regular-season champion Wisconsin-Green Bay in the semifi nals, and then controlled the game from the outset to defeat Illinois-Chicago in the title game of the tournament.

The fi ve seniors were Barry Johnson, three-time Honorable Mention All-Midwest; Steve Rowe, tournament MVP; Dave Olson, most prolifi c three point shooter in Mid-Con history; Kavien Martin, team leader as the point guard; and Rod McKinnis, who provided the inspiration after a season ending knee injury.

The team was honored by Governor Jim Edgar (EIU Class of ’68), the state legislature at the Illinois capital building, as well as welcomed by the Charleston community and members of the University.

The Panthers lost to the Indiana Hoosiers, an eventual 'Final Four' participant, in the fi rst round of the West Regional in Boise, Idaho.
