Louisiana Tech names All-Quarter Century Basketball Team

It’s summer, and we love some fun activities in the summer.

This summer the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department tasked its fans with voting for an All-Quarter Century Basketball Team.

The team features three All-Americans and a combined 25 all-conference selections.
