![March 1939: Before the Madness: The Story of the First NCAA Basketball Tournament Champions](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1374640809l/18174070.jpg)
HUBBY'S REVIEWS:
A story about the Oregon Webfoot’s winning the first NCAA championship and the fast paced style of basketball the played. Lead by Coach Howard Hobson, who was ahead of the times. By having two guards that were describe as race horses they would run his style of basketball. They grew up across the street from each other and they had been playing the game for a while. The explains how this was supposed to be a one year experiment and now 75 years later it is a national obsession. During this same time the NIT tournament was in its second year and later would be the tournament that coaches wanted to win. The author goes into the history of both and how they changed. He also talks about the events that are happening in Europe and how the events look like another world war may start. A fantastic book and is more than just about the one team. I got this book from net galley.
