Summary
"In this sweeping history of two decades of Big Ten basketball, Murray Nelson chronicles the conference's zenith, when it was the most successful of any conference in the nation. Coaches such as Lute Olson, Lou Henson, Johnny Orr, Gene Keady, and Bob Knight led the nation in national titles, influencing the league with their play styles, changes to rules, recruitment, and, of course, intensity. Readers can also follow Joe Barry Carroll as he leads the Purdue Boilermakers to the Final Four in 1980, Steve Alford as he takes the Hoosiers to a national championship win, Kent Benson's undefeated conference records, and Magic Johnson as he leads the Michigan State Spartans to multiple titles and championships"-- Provided by publisher.
