1977 SWEET 16
Mike Glenn scored 30
points in the NCAA
Tournament game
against Wake Forest.
Ten years after winning the NIT in New York City, the Salukis earned their rst crack at
the University Division’s “Big Dance” in 1977. In the school’s rst-ever NCAA Tournament
appearance, a veteran-laden squad led by Mike Glenn, advanced to the Sweet 16 by
beating Arizona. Glenn, a future NBA star, averaged 21 points per game on the season,
while shooting .582 percent from the oor. He was spectacular in SIU’s two NCAA games.
Glenn did not leave the court, playing all 80 minutes, making 30-of-45 eld goal attempts
and collecting 65 points. The tournament featured 32 teams and was the nal NCAA
Tournament in which teams were not seeded.
