Critics Review
“Perfect. A wonderful book by a wonderful sports journalist.”
–Booklist (starred review)
“In this fascinating history, sportswriter Feinstein (A Season on the Brink) takes a look at lesser-known college basketball teams. In order to explore the ‘real joys of college basketball,’ Feinstein eschews the big money and future NBA stars of celebrated universities to focus on the sheer love of the game that characterizes smaller schools, covering the 2018 basketball season from November to the March playoffs… It’s all net for Feinstein’s passionate basketball history.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Rousing . . . The author is a sympathetic observer, fan, reporter, and scholar all at once, and he delivers reams of information about how the game has evolved … Feinstein writes with warmth and enthusiasm of a beloved sport in a book that will grab any fan.”
–Kirkus
