Book Reviews of '74: A Basketball Story
Book Review: Enjoyed Read
Summary: 4 Stars
I did not realize prior to purchase that book was not an actual documentation of 74 season. From past reading of Skywalker (about David Thompson) it was clear that book did closely follow season and contained many actual events. I was often curious while reading whether event occurred as written or was altered or embelished. Still a very enjoyable read, especially for those die hard Wolfpack fans.
Summary of '74: A Basketball Story
The untold drama of the 1974 NCAA Basketball Champions: the North Carolina State University Wolfpack As the 1973-74 college basketball season began, most experts expected John Wooden's UCLA Bruins-led by All-American Bill Walton-to win its eighth straight national championship. Only one team truly challenged them: an archetypal Naismith team--the NC State Wolfpack led by the dynamic trio Tommy Burleson, David Thompson, and Monte Towe recognized by many at the time as the best one-two-three punch in college basketball. Their historic run for the national championship was accentuated by challenges, successes, and failures. It was one of personal sacrifice and determination by a group of young men who pulled together amidst adversity to become one of the great college basketball teams ever.Basketball Books
