This book shows the hunger of a challenger & fall of a champ

This book really guides any basketball lover through the rigors of a season of ACC basketball. From the ups and downs of the rebuilding N.C. State program, to the fall of the two-time National Champions (Duke), to the rise of the new champions, the North Carolina Tar Heels. Simply a book that any ACC, or basketball lover, has to read. It will indulge you and take you through a real life journey of the young men at these institutions. This book will show you that while basketball is an important part of these young men's lives, it is yet only a game. From the suicide of one young player to the departure of the all-time assist leader in NCAA history to the rise of the national champions, this is a must read!!!

Very good book, even if author went to Dook!

An interesting concept, to chronicle three powerhouses(historically, considering NCSU's recent struggles) in the same season. My only complaint is that the book spends far too much of it's attention on an also-ran Duke team to the detriment of NCAA champ UNC and NCSU. That is to be expected, however, when the author is a Dookie
