The Last Great Game: Duke vs. Kentucky and the 2.1 Seconds That Changed Basketball

New York Times bestseller

"A compelling narrative about the people who produced the most spine-tingling moment in modern college basketball history." -Seth Davis, Sports Illustrated and CBS

March 28, 1992. The final of the NCAA East Regional, Duke vs. Kentucky. Millions could say they witnessed the greatest game and the greatest shot in the history of college basketball. But it wasn't just the final play--an 80-foot inbounds pass with 2.1 seconds left in overtime--that made Duke's 104-103 victory so memorable. Each player and coach arrived at that point with a unique story to tell.

In The Last Great Game, ESPN columnist Gene Wojciechowski turns the game we think we remember into a drama filled with suspense, humor, revelations, and reverberations. Not just for Duke or Kentucky fans, this acclaimed New York Times bestseller is for everyone who appreciates the great moments in sports.
