Note: Roster information was cross-referenced with the 1977 media guide and one game program roster (Hayward State). Players' names were reported in the media guide that were not in the final game program roster. When this occurred, the game program was used for the information presented in this roster, as the media guides were typically published before pre-season camp and did not include final roster additions or deletions. Additional information provided in the media guide, but not available for all players, included prior school and hometown information. This information may be listed on the website in the future. If there are any corrections to be noted, please contact us.
