The Volunteers of Tennessee have a long and lively tradition in the college hoops arena--from their humble beginnings in gyms that only held a few hundred spectators to national prominence and strong showings in the NCAA "Big Dance" tournaments of today. In this book readers will meet Ray Mears, the "Barnum of college basketball"; Gene Tormohlen, a rebounder who routinely squeezed the air out of the basketball; and Allan Houston, a modern-day superstar in the NBA.
