"The book comes aptly titled pointing out the crucial role KU has played from college basketball's earliest days. The author combines a search for historical accuracy with, wherever possible, key sources whose stories and anecdotes help to make for an engaging and informative survey. KU's basketball tradition is a great one but this book puts between two covers the documentation and the stories needed to substantiate such a claim." Dr. Steve Jansen, Elizabeth M.
