By all reasonable measures, basketball is the nation's favorite sport. More people watch basketball at the college, high school and professional levels than any other form of athletic competition. Despite increased popularity of professional basketball on TV, college basketball still has a firm grip on most basketball fans as the popularity of the NCAA tournament attests. Hoopla: A Century of College Basketball looks back at the game that evolved from a set of peach baskets nailed to the wall to today's slam-dunk, in-your-face, trash-talking version, touching on the all-time great players, coaches, teams and moments along the way. This book will make it clear why college basketball has never had to yield to its professional competition.
