Murph: "We only lived a half-hour from New York City,” Murphy later recalled in the Houston Post. “My brother and I would sneak on the train to go to old Madison Square Garden and watch the pro games. I used to sit there and just visualize me being out there.” One night Murphy saw Oscar Robertson play and, on the way home, vowed he would become a pro basketball player, “come hell or high water.”
“Back when I was in high school, my high school coach kept suggesting Niagara University over all the scholarship offers,” said Murphy, a Naismith Hall of Famer and former NBA All-Star. “He said: ‘You’re going to be a part of that school, that’s not a school that’s going to have you play basketball then forget you.’ And he was never, ever more right about anything. When I was at my lowest, they were there. When I was at my highest, they were there. They can never get rid of me.”

A Couple of Coming Out Parties
Sports Illustrated, Dec. 11, 1967
http://www.si.com/vault/1967/12/11/6097 ... ut-parties
"Almost simultaneously last Saturday night, in Niagara Falls, N.Y. and near the banks of the Wabash in West Lafayette, Ind., Calvin Murphy and Rick Mount, respectively, American folk heroes before they ever got out of high school, started their college varsity basketball careers. Both were surrounded by the kind of hoopla and razzmatazz that used to be associated with the launching of great oceangoing liners. No one would have been too surprised if champagne bottles had been broken over their heads before they ran out onto the courts for the first time. Murphy, the 5'10" guard from Norwalk, Conn., had averaged 49 points a game with the Niagara freshmen. He could actually dunk the ball; he twirled a baton at home games of the Buffalo Bills. Mount, the blond, 6'4" guard from little Lebanon, Ind., had averaged 35 points a game for Purdue's freshmen. He was All-Indiana three straight years in high school and the state's Mr. Basketball in 1966..."

Here's to Old Niagara,
Onward to Victory

Ever loyal, ever loyal we will be;

Though the odds be great or small;
For the glory of Niagara,
We'll give our all.
