Today's game is the seventh straight Elgin Baylor Classic for the Seattle University Redhawks and although Baylor isn't present, a few of his former teammates were.
A few minutes before the game, they recognized former Baylor teammates including Seattle U basketball Hall of Famer Jim Harney.
At halftime, they honored Ed & John O'Brien, who led the basketball team to 1953 NCAA Tournament before playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, for whom their new facility on Cherry will be named after.
