Items related to The Big Dance: The Story of the NCAA Basketball Tournament
Covered by four networks, allowing every game to be televised, “March Madness” has become an American phenomenon as anticipated as the Super Bowl. This is the story of the tournament from its beginnings seventy-three years ago as just an eight-team “bracket” to today’s sixty-eight-team format. From the “Cinderella” teams like Butler and Gonzaga to perennial powerhouses such as UCLA and Kentucky, covering buzzer-beaters, upsets, and dynasties, the story of one of the most-followed sporting events in history is comprehensively told here.

The Big Dance is a great chance to hear and learn from the sport's best teachers—John Wooden, Coach K, Pat Summitt, Geno Auriemma—and hear the opinions of a man who helped make the game so popular: Dickie V. And I'm on page 163. (Jim O'Connell, The Associated Press)
...[S]erves as a nice primer for the 2012 tournament... (Publishers Weekly)
Wilner and Rappaport’s fan energy is the book’s driving force: they glow in the light of a game they love. Their eagerness to talk ball is contagious, and their detailing of game-by-game strategy is enlightening. (The Christian Science Monitor)
