The 1967-68 St. Bonaventure men's basketball team, still the only Bonnies team to go undefeated in a regular season, will be honored Jan. 11 on campus.
The team will be recognized during that day's game against La Salle, which tips off at noon. In addition, there will be a post-game reception in the Hall of Fame Room for the team that is open to the public.
Members of that team who are confirmed to attend are head coach Larry Weise, Jim Satalin, Billy Kalbaugh, Gene Fahey, Mike Kull, Vinny Martin, Dick Ulaszewicz, and team manager Art Roberts. Other members of the team included the late Bob Lanier, Bona's All-America center and Basketball Hall of Fame member, Bill Butler, John Hayes, Jim Gagnier and Pete Wisniowski.
Lanier, Butler, Kalbaugh, Satalin, Hayes and Weise as well as team trainer Dick Gigliotti are all members of the St. Bonaventure Athletics Hall of Fame.
Led by Lanier, who was a sophomore that season, the Bonnies went 22-0 in the regular season. Their high-powered offense averaged 85 points per game and St. Bonaventure was ranked as high as No. 3 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Bona's then topped Boston College in its first NCAA Tournament game but fell to North Carolina in the next round and to Columbia in a consolation game to end the year 23-2.
