Death of Former NIU Basketball Coach Tom Jorgenson-- Part 3

I saw three seasons of "Jorgy" Ball between 1969 and 1973.  Unfortunately, I was at the University of Georgia in that glorious 1971-1972 season, but sure followed the team.

From Wikipedia.

Records of NIU Jorgenson teams:

1966-1967  8-12
1967-1968  10-14
1968-1969  13-11
1969-1970  13-12
1970-1971  13-10
1971-1972  21-4
1972-1973  17-8

Tom Jorgenson attended Parker High School in Chicago in the Engklewood neighborhood.

NIU basketball is generally not very good in the record department, but these were sure some exciting years.
