About the book

In A March to Madness, John Feinstein follows all nine ACC teams through the unforgettable 1996-97 season and illuminates the almost inconceivable pressures on coaches and players in the conference. It was a year in which Dean Smith broke Adolph Rupp's all-time record for coaching victories, superstar Tim Duncan and coach Dave Odom attempted to lead Wake Forest to its first Final Four in thirty-five years, Mike Krzyzewski tried to fall in love with coaching again, and Carolina fought its way into another Final Four after a dismal start. Behind those stories, A March to Madness brings to light the hidden world of college basketball -- the bitter rivalries between coaches, the toll of competition on marriages and careers, the difficulties coaches have in dealing with NBA-bound players, and much more. - Jacket flap.

First sentence: IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL, when you say the words "Monday Night," they mean only one thing: the national championship game.
