The definitive, compulsively readable story of the greatest era of the most iconic league in college basketball history—the Big East “This book, full of long-standing rivalries, unmatched moments in the lives of coaches and players, and juicy insider gossip, is, like the game of basketball, a ton of fun.”—Philadelphia magazine The names need no introduction: Thompson and Patrick, Boeheim and the Pearl, and of course Gavitt. And the moments are part of college basketball lore: the Sweater Game, Villanova Beats Georgetown, and Six Overtimes. But this is the story of the Big East Conference that you haven’t heard before—of how the Northeast, once an afterthought, became the epicenter of college basketball. Before the league’s founding, East Coast basketball had crowned just three national champions in forty years, and none since 1954. But in the Big East’s first ten years, five of its teams played for a national championship. The league didn’t merely inherit good teams; it created them. But how did this unlikely group of schools come to dominate college basketball so quickly and completely? Including interviews with more than sixty of the key figures in the conference’s history, The Big East charts the league’s daring beginnings and its incredible rise. It transports fans inside packed arenas to epic wars fought between transcendent players, and behind locker-room doors where combustible coaches battled even more fiercely for a leg up. Started on a handshake and a prayer, the Big East carved an improbable arc in sports history, an ensemble of Catholic schools banding together to not only improve their own stations but rewrite the geographic boundaries of basketball. As former UConn coach Jim Calhoun eloquently put it, “It was Camelot. Camelot with bad language.”

In 1979, Providence athletic director Dave Gavitt gifted the college basketball world a conference like no other. Much has been said about the unique brand of hoops played during the Big East's golden era, when football shared the entertainment throne and its specter had yet to hover over every other sport in America. However, very little of that dialogue has come from the mouths of the players, the men who made the magic. In Fast Breaks, Finger Rolls, and Fisticuffs: Memories of Big East Basketball, Mark Hostutler interviewed 50 alumni of the conference's first decade and a half to compile its oral history from the players' perspectives. Whatever the moment - Georgetown's national title in 1984, Villanova's the next year, Jerome Lane's glass-rupturing dunk, Syracuse's unlikely runs to the final in 1987 and 1996, or Boston College's shocking upset of defending-champion North Carolina in the 1994 NCAA Tournament - Hostutler spoke with someone who experienced it. Connecticut's Chris Smith, Seton Hall's Terry Dehere, Villanova's Doug West and Kerry Kittles, Felipe Lopez of St. John's, Boston College's Bill Curley, and Syracuse's Rony Seikaly, Lawrence Moten, and John Wallace are among the many who shared their stories of being on the inside. These men help fans relive the Big East's notorious battles of attrition, the violence of its post play, and the ball-handling exhibitions and perimeter-scoring displays that transcended some of the most physical, suffocating defenses in the country. Although the Big East has recently survived the football-dictated, tectonic shift of the NCAA's terrain with its original, basketball-centric ethos intact, what remains are just the fossils of the greatest alliance in college basketball history. This book turns back the clock, transporting readers to a time when the best players in America treated the college campus as their second home and not just a brief stop along their path to the NBA.

31 years after the Perfect Game &– Villanova's shocking national championship upset over Georgetown &– Nova struck again with the Perfect Shot, taking down North Carolina in one of the most thrilling finishes in sports history. The shot and second national title in school history were the culmination of 15 years of Coach Jay Wright painstakingly building the unheralded program, through ups and downs, heartbreak and triumph. In Long Shots: Jay Wright, Villanova, and College Basketball's Most Unlikely Champion, ESPN senior writer Dana O'Neil uses exclusive access to Coach Wright and Nova basketball to delve into the inner-workings of a championship program. In the spirit of A Season on the Brink, O'Neil not only explores behind-the-scenes of the historic 2015-2016 NCAA championship season but also the improbable path that the Nova program took to college basketball immortality. In overcoming a disappointing NCAA Tournament track record, the breakup of the Big East conference as we knew it, and Nova's underdog status among traditional college hoops powerhouses, Jay Wright and his team provided the blueprint for how a “have-not” can prevail over the blue bloods the right way &– the Villanova Basketball Way.
