Haskins coached Texas Western to a victory over Kentucky in the 1966 national title game, which pitted a starting five of all black players against a team of all white players. Riley played for UK in that game. Gillispie is a former head coach at UTEP, Floyd was an assistant under Haskins and Richardson played for the hall of fame coach from 1961-63.
The event, which will be at the Don Haskins Center on UTEP's campus, is open to the public and admission is free.
