On March 6, 2001, the top two women’s college basketball teams in
the nation, UConn and Notre Dame, played what was arguably the
greatest game in the history of the sport. When UConn’s Sue Bird
hit a twelve-foot pull-up jumper at the buzzer over national player
of the year Ruth Riley in the Big East Tournament championship
game, it marked the end of an epic contest that featured five
future Olympians and eight first-round WNBA selections. Bird
at the Buzzer re-creates this unique season with a detailed account
of the games that led up to—and beyond—the tournament finale;
profiles of the two coaches, UConn’s Geno Auriemma and Notre
Dame’s Muffet McGraw; close-ups of the players who made the year
so memorable; and, finally, an in-depth recap of the game worthy of
being designated ESPN’s first-ever women’s basketball
“Instant Classic.” Author Jeff Goldberg shows us the
drama on the court and behind the scenes as the big game pitted
Riley and the upstarts from Notre Dame against what many believed
was the most talented team in UConn history, under Hall of Fame
coach Auriemma. A see-saw affair in which neither team led by more
than eight points, the 2001 Big East championship game encapsulates
the quintessential inside story of the individual talents and
skills, team spirit and smarts, and the moment-by-moment realities
of college athletics that made this season a snapshot of sports at
its finest.
