The Golden Age of Ivy League Basketball: From Bill Bradley to Penn's Final Four, 1964-1979

The Book of Record for Ivy League Basketball... Everyone thinks they know the story, but no one really does. Hutter's body of work (bow) ratings methodology is a brilliant conception for the purpose of establishing team and player rankings across generations. -Ted Silary, Philadelphia Daily News...TedSilary.com. Great stuff ...I did not realize that I witnessed the best of Ivy League basketball when I was at Penn. -Steven Greif, University of Pennsylvania. As both a college student during the Golden Age and longtime ACC basketball fan, I have to admit that Duke and North Carolina could not handle Penn and Princeton back in the day. -Russ Frank, Duke '71. The Golden Age of Ivy League Basketball is a "classic basketball book" for the "classic basketball fan." It captures and summarizes the nostalgic post-Bill Bradley era and also serves as a basic primer for Ivy League and NBA basketball history. The book enables classic readers to connect-the-dots associated with this memorable period and clears the fog surrounding their hazy but fond recollections. In addition to being chocked full of data, rankings, comparative analyses and sports trivia, it provides a historical overview pertaining to sports media issues which are of interest to both the "classic" and the "contemporary" basketball fan alike. Front cover: Columbia's Jim McMillian guarding Princeton's Bill Bradley during the Knicks/Lakers 1973 NBA finals. Printed in U.S.A.
