Hall of Fame
The 1993-94 men's basketball team is the first team inducted into the LVC Athletic Hall of Fame. Lebanon Valley's only national championship team, they led fans on an unforgettable journey behind head coach Pat Flannery and captains John Harper '94 and Mike Rhoades '95. LVC won the MAC championship and qualified for the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Final Four where they won a pair of overtime games. In the national semifinal against favored Wittenberg, LVC erased a 14-point deficit with five minutes left to force overtime, then relied on Rhoades' 33 points and nine assists to win 93-83. That set up what would go down as one of the greatest championship games in college basketball history. Up against giant New York University (enrollment: 49,000), LVC was down in the final seconds but received a miraculous tip-in from Jason Say at the buzzer, then outscored NYU in overtime 11-4 to win the title, 66-59. Four members of the team are already Hall of Fame inductees: Harper (being inducted this year), Rhoades, Flannery, and Mark Hofsass '95.
