Description: #1 New York Times bestselling author John Feinstein returns to his first love - - college basketball - - with a fascinating and compelling journey through a landscape of unsung unpublicized and often unknown heroes of Division - 1 college hoops. John Feinstein pulls back the curtain on college basketball's lesser - known Cinderella stories - - the smaller programs who no one expects to win who have no chance of attracting the most coveted high school recruits. To tell this story Feinstein follows a handful of players coaches and schools who dream not of winning the NCA a tournament but of making it past their first or second round games. Every once in a while one of these coaches or players is plucked from obscurity to lead a major team or to play professionally cementing their status in these fiercely passionate fan bases as a legend. These are the gifted players who aren't handled with kid gloves - - they're hardworking gritty teammates who practice and party with everyone else. With his trademark humor and invaluable connections John Feinstein reveals the big time programs you've never heard of the bracket busters you didn't expect to cheer for and the coaches who inspire them to take their teams to the next level.
