My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ebook review : Before Texas Western there was Loyola - Chicago. An enjoyable college basketball story of a team and the history of college basketball post WWII. Interesting stories include : Dr. James Naismith black graduate student who created the HBCU league - John McClendon, Nashville as the seat of black basketball, Holcombe Rucker and the Rucker park scene , James Meredith and the federal troops support to integrate Ole Miss , and the early 1960's period of cultural change for America and its impact on the people in this historical athletic drama.
