For anyone who has followed, or wishes they could have followed ODU basketball, this is the book to own. Lots of good information and pictures. A stroll down memory lane with some holes filled in.

This review is from: Old Dominion University Men's Basketball (VA) (Images of Sports) (Paperback)

An excellent read for true fans of real basketball...where it is done with grit, skill, talent, class, and a reasonable budget. ODU wins the old fashioned way...they earn it!
