Maryland Basketball

"On March 3, 2002, the Maryland Terrapins walked off the court at Cole Field House for the last time - leaving as the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season champions. They had just defeated the Virginia Cavaliers, the same opponent they had beaten 47 years earlier in the first game played at what became one of college basketball's truly storied arenas. As the Terps settle in to their new home, the state-of-the-art Comcast Center, Paul McMullen recalls in Maryland Basketball the colorful, exciting, tragic, and triumphant events of 1955 to 2002: the Cole Field House era." "McMullen follows the downs and ups of the basketball program off the court, from recruiting violations and the death of Len Bias to the post-collegiate successes - on and off the court - of so many Terps. Between the Eisenhower years and the resounding championship season of 2001-2002, Cole Field House was the scene of some of college basketball's most exhilarating games and the performances of many outstanding players and coaches. Maryland Basketball gives fans the chance to relive them all." --Book Jacket.
