 In Texas Western's championship game victory, Cager had eight points and six rebounds.
 The school's website describes him as "A skilled low post player" during his career.
 Raised in New York City, Cager was nicknamed "Scoops".
 He suffered from a heart murmur during the 1965–66 season; when he recovered enough to play, Texas Western was forced to use him sparingly, in four-minute shifts.
 After playing at Texas Western, Cager was drafted by the Baltimore Bullets in the 12th round of the 1968 NBA draft.

 The head coach was George Ireland.
 The Ramblers were the 1963 NCAA Tournament Champions, defeating top-ranked and two-time defending champion Cincinnati Bearcats in a 60–58 overtime contest.
 The team was notable in that it broke the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" amongst coaches in which no more than two black players would be on the floor at one time (and in some road games, black players would have to rotate so that only one of them was playing at any given moment): the Ramblers would regularly have three or four black starters, paving the way for the 1965-66 Texas Western Miners men's basketball team who would finally put the "agreement" to rest and have an all-black starting five.
The 1965–66 Texas Western Miners basketball team represented Texas Western College, now known as the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), and was coached by Hall of Fame coach Don Haskins.

 The Miners defeated Kentucky (a team that was all white until 1969) 72–65 in the historic championship game, played at Cole Field House in College Park, Maryland on March 19, 1966.

 The team was coached by Don Haskins.
 The Miners made history for being the first team to start an all-African American lineup in the championship game.
 His basketball nickname was "The Shadow". "
Glory Road", a 2006 Disney film, chronicles the team's journey; Shed is played by Al Shearer.
 After playing at Texas Western, Shed was drafted by the Boston Celtics in the fourth round of the 1967 NBA draft (his name is listed as Neville Shed).
 His career ended when he tore up his leg while attempting a lay-up at a game in training camp.
 Because of that, he never played in the NBA or in other leagues.
 He later became an assistant coach for Haskins at Texas Western.
 Shed is currently working at a Spurs Camp in San Antonio, Texas.
