Incredibly comprehensive, historically correct, and utterly fascinating telling of the history of Indiana University Basketball. I read this book cover to cover and even use it to look up different facts (like seeing if 45 points WAS the Assembly Hall shot clock record low point total).

If you are a fan of one of the most storied programs in NCAA history, the IU men's basketball team, this is as close to a must have as you can get.

All I can say in incredible. If you're an IU fan you NEED this book.

Having grown up and played high school and college basketball in Indiana I was fascinated with the facts and figures in this well done book. I was so into it I checked out some things and was astonished when I found an error. A player in the early 1950s by the name of Warren Fisher was a friend of mine. The book lists him being from Kokomo, but he is from Ft. Wayne. Other than that anyone interested in finding facts about players and teams gone by at IU can probably find them in this book.

Fantastic source for player stats and team rosters.
Concise season reviews with emphasis to hallmark seasons.
Great collection to my sports library.
