As part of Indiana State Basketball's annual Alumni Day festivities, Sycamore Athletics will honor the memory and contributions of Clarence Walker during Saturday's Missouri Valley Conference contest against visiting Loyola. The game will begin at 2 pm (ET) inside Hulman Center.
It's been 70 years since a young African American athlete –- a quick 19-year-old guard – stepped alone onto the world stage and changed the game of college basketball. That young athlete was Clarence Walker. He came to Indiana State from East Chicago Washington High School, recruited by the new Indiana State coach, John Wooden – not yet a legend.
