The University of San Francisco celebrates the life of one of its own, the only man who holds the distinction of being part of all three of USF Basketball's national championships – in 1949 as a player, and from the assistant coach seat for both the 1955 and 1956 squads. Ross Giudice passed away in his sleep on July 14 at the age of 93, in Sonoma County.

On the court, Giudice played for the Dons from 1945-50, coolly sinking free throws in the final minute against Loyola-Chicago to secure the 1949 NIT Championship.
