It begins in October, with Midnight Madness, when colleges and universities across the country open their gym doors in the middle of the night to allow fans to watch the first official practice of the year. It closes almost six months later, with March Madness, when the Final Four culminates in the championship game. There is, to state it simply, nothing like college basketball.

LEGENDS OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL recalls the careers of the 100 greatest players to have played the game. From the dominant big men, like Lew Alcindor and Artis Gilmore, to the stylish ball handlers and playmakers, like Bob Cousy and Isaiah Thomas, they are presented in an evocative ranking of 1 through 100.

Kentucky basketball is about Adolph Rupp, Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino and Tubby Smith. It's about Ralph Beard, Dan Issel, Kyle Macy and Kenny Walker. It's about Cawood Ledford, Deron Feldhaus, Walter McCarty and John Pelphrey. It's about the 1948 national champs and the 1998 champs.

Kentucky basketball is about Alumni Gym, Memorial Coliseum and Rupp Arena. It's about upsetting Indiana in the 1975 Mideast Regional Final, it's about Dan Issel v. Pistol Pete, it's about the 1998 revenge for the "Laettner game."

Packed with more than 200 color and classic black-and-white photographs, BIG BLUE | 100 YEARS OF KENTUCKY WILDCATS BASKETBALL is a century's worth of moments and memories, players and performances, titles and triumphs.
