The 1990-1991 men's basketball team, coached by 2015 Concord Hall of Famer Steve Cox, was the first CU team to win a NAIA or NCAA Tournament game in any sport. After winning the WVIAC Tournament Championship, Cox's team erased a 1-0 deficit in a best-of-three series against West Virginia Wesleyan in the first round of the NAIA Playoffs to advance to the NAIA Tournament in Kansas City. CU defeated Northern Colorado in the round of 32 before being knocked out by eventual national champion Oklahoma City in the NAIA Sweet 16. The team featured three eventual 1,000-point scorers, Todd Keffer, Todd Lusk and Ron Ward as well as the school's all-time assist leader Chuck Scott. Ward finished his career as the program's all-time leading scorer (2,872) and all-time leading rebounder (1,416). Others on the team included Jason Eldridge, Scott Goins, Henry Lipscomb, Andre Nabors, Chris Pauley, Jim Pettus, Kevin Richardson and Tony Tooley.
